Love Me Like You'Re Losing Mind
Ch2:Like Clockwork, But Softer
He kept showing up to my shop
Elowen
You keep showing up.
I’m starting to think you like me.
August
Don’t flatter yourself.
I like the dolls.
Elowen
Then why do you keep forgetting to look at them?
August
Because your face does this...
thing. When you smile.
August
I’m lactose intolerant.
But for you? I’ll risk it.
Elowen
You’re ridiculous.
Meet me at the harbor tonight?
August
Under the lantern tree?
It’s a date.
Elowen
You wrote something on my palm.
August
A line from your favorite poem.
You talk in verses when you’re happy.
Elowen
I think I’m falling.
August
Then I’ll meet you halfway.
We can fall together.
August
Especially if we crash
I hoped that this movement last forever

Mara
“Did he just ask her out? I SAW THAT SMIRK. That’s a smirk of a man about to fall headfirst into romantic chaos.
Jay
Called it. I told you he liked her. Bet he brings flowers next time... or another one of those moody poems.”
Lucie
She blushed. Did you see her? Her cheeks were like peach jam!”
Mara
“Ugh, she better wear that green dress. The one that makes her look like she belongs in a love song.”
Jay
“I’m just glad he’s not a serial killer. Writers are... unpredictable.”
Lucie
“Do you think they’ll kiss under the lantern tree?”
End of conversation of the chaotic matchmakers
