@ardentsolis sent a letter to mary macdonald: ‘‘ 💬 ’’
prompt: send me 💬, and i’ll use a line from a sentence meme i’ve reblogged to make a starter for you.
With the lessons done with for the day, Mary has followed her schoolmates towards the courtyard, soon finding for herself a spot under a tree to start in her studies; When she spots Amanda, however, her plans are put gladly on hold. Her ❝ hello, Amanda ! ❞ is sweet-sounding, and there, at the corner of her mouth, a small smile appears. It falters, however, while she is bookmarking her book before closing it. ❝ Would you... ❞ a pause, in which she slowly places the book on her lap.
❝ Would you like to come and sit a little while with me ? ❞ her question, or invite, rather, starts rushed and, while it slows at the end, it still pitches a little at the e. Here, the smile reappears, but now it looks more apologetic. Lowering her head to hide it from view, Mary busies her hands with taking hold of her things to make more space for Amanda to sit and, while she moves her schoolbag from one side to then place it on the other, she says: ❝ then you can tell me how you’ve been, ❞ a considering pause, then... ❝ how you've really been. ❞
