Tell us about Arthur.
it isn’t that he’s handsome, although that helps.
it isn’t because this is easy, because a relationshipwith a man who does everything in his power to staya shadow, someone without attachments is alwaysgoing to be damn near impossible.
it’s because with him, she wants to try.
maybe it isn’t a simple relationship, maybe it isn’t theone most girls dream about, but ariadne wasn’t mostgirls in the first place. she didn’t think she’d find a manwho would spark her mind as much as her heart, whowas practical yet imaginative and brilliant along withhalf a dozen other things that she loved to find out asthey went along.
no, she didn’t love arthur because it was easy to.
but she didn’t love him in spite of that either.
love was a mess, and with him, it just seemed to makesense. she wouldn’t overthink the reasons why he madeher heart flutter. not when she could tell by that little coysmile of his that his was doing the same thing.
she’d enjoy it. he seemed to be enjoying it too.
