Love Me Like You'Re Losing Mind
Ch3:The Cemetery Waltz
[The day after the lantern tree meeting...]
Elowen
You didn’t write today.
August
You didn’t make a doll either.
Elowen
I didn’t want to trap that night in porcelain.
It felt... too alive.
Elowen
So what now? Do we keep pretending we’re not slowly falling in love?
August
I’m not pretending.
Are you?
August
Then let’s make a memory that won’t fade.Something bold. Strange. Ours.
Elowen
You’re not serious.
August
Dead serious.
Come dance with me.
Tonight. In the cemetery.
August
Only for you.
I’ll bring music.
Elowen
You brought me to a graveyard?
August
Shh. It’s our date spot.
Elowen
(Weird look)
Romantic….
August
Laughs These people are the best listeners. No interruptions.
Elowen
So… what do we do here? Whisper to ghosts?
August
Take my hands. Trust me
They sway between tombstones, the moon casting lace shadows on Elowen’s white dress.
August
Exactly why it’s perfect.
Elowen
What if someone sees?
August
Then let them believe love’s not dead after all.
They stop. Breathless. Still.
She leans in, brushing his cheek with her fingers before kissing him—soft, warm, a hush in the cold night.
August
So much for just dancing.
I think I’ll write this.
Elowen
Don’t forget the part where you stepped on my toes
August
Only if you make a doll of tonight.
Elowen
Already started. She has wild eyes… and a crooked-footed dance partner.
