Snow angels

Oh sweet Nonnie, of course I can share! It's no secret, I think I've posted about it before.

In PTMY, Gabrielle was supposed to go home. Just like she had decided. I don't know if you remember the chapter Auf Achse? Initially, after breaking up with Benny, Gabrielle was supposed to go back to her place, close herself in for a while, and then fly back to Paris, determined not to ruin Benny and Frankie's friendship. Frankie did not try to stop her, out of respect for her bodily autonomy. The fight scene between Frankie and Benny at the bar was the same, which rendered her sacrifice worthless. I don't know how I ever thought I'd be capable of such cruelty. Anyway, I called in the big guns to the rescue, and by "big guns" I mean Izzy, who talked some sense into her baby brother. I struggled very hard to write their dialogue, though.

As for tybtm, same lemonade, as we say in French! Lee was supposed to fly to New York to her sister, to start over. Clean slate. Nothing from her past, including Frankie. Who again let her go because our beloved man knows women are free. And, it's kind of cute, up until the epilogue, I was dead certain I was on the right track. I really thought I could keep these two apart, lol.

That's it! Tell me what you think? You might be relieved to know I've given up on all future attempts at writing something with a sad end. I may have been raised on Wuthering Heights, I'll be damned if I leave our man unsatisfied 😌

Thank you SO MUCH for this ask, Nonnie! I've been mostly away for a while, but I'm trying to make time to come back, I miss the Orange bedroom and my besties too much 🧡🧡🧡

Have a good week 😘
