I knew well before then that it was you.


I knew as soon as you walked into the room.

*stares at you*


You knew?

But you kissed me, Reinette. Why?

[mme_depompadour]

*turns to look at you*


I...

*sobs*

I don't know.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*keeps staring*


*unable to take it in*

You knew it was me?

[mme_depompadour]

*cries*





Why didn't you stop me?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*looks away*



_{...I would've thought that would be obvious.}

[mme_depompadour]

I...


*looks at the floor*

*sighs*

What?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*runs hand through hair agitatedly*


<sub>Why I kissed you back.

Isn't it obvious enough already?</sub>

[mme_depompadour]

*looks at you*



No.

What?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*looks back*





_{...Because I love you, Reinette.}

[mme_depompadour]

*cries*



No.

No, you're just saying that.

You're saying that because you know he can't, because you think that's what I want to hear.

Well, I don't. I don't want to know.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

<sub>Just...?

*amazed* Just saying that?



Since I've known you, I've been falling in love with you, Reinette. Why d'you think I kissed you, that time when he left? Why d'you think I got into that fight with the Doctor? Why d'you think I came to rescue you?

Because it was 'what you wanted to hear'?


I'm sorry. You're going to have to deal with knowing.</sub>

I love you.

[mme_depompadour]

No.

You can't.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

_{Why not?}

[mme_depompadour]

I don't want you to.


No.


*sobs*

What do you want me to say?
What do you want from me?

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

<sub>*aches to hold you*

Just tell me why you kissed me. Please.</sub>

[mme_depompadour]

No.


I...

I don't know.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*exasperated*

*runs hand through hair again*


_{I don't understand.}

[mme_depompadour]

I'm sorry.


I...




I don't want to get hurt again. I can't...


I can't talk about this.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

<sub>Reinette, if you don't talk about it now, then it's going to hurt you more and more. And it's going to keep hurting everyone around you.


And I don't understand why you would kiss me if... you didn't feel the same way towards me.</sub>

[mme_depompadour]

No.

I just can't do it.


*stares*
No.
*shakes head*

No.

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

<sub>Can't what, exactly?

Can't accept how you feel? Can't believe that just maybe, I might be right on this one?

If it's wrong, prove me wrong, Reinette. Or accept it's right.


But stop running away from it, either way.</sub>

[mme_depompadour]

*stares*



No.


*sobs*

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*frustrated*


Reinette. I love you.

Do you love me?

[mme_depompadour]

*cries*



I can't.

I...


*looks at you*

*opens mouth as if about to speak*



*looks at floor*

[theweaselscot.livejournal.com]

*gently*

Yes?
