    Summary

    From a tumblr prompt– a kiss as a promise.

     

    Hardwon wakes up in a panic, breathing heavy, tossing his light blanket off the bed. No sooner has he sat up than he hears a knock at his stump. Knocking isn’t crick habit. He knows who it is, and he knows she’s only knocking for him.

    “Yeah, come in,” he says, and Moonshine does. She doesn’t seem alarmed by his state. She does seem worried, or maybe sad. She sits on the bed beside him.

    “PawPaw was thrashing around something awful,” she says. “Figured something was up. He knows things, you know.”

    Hardwon smiles. PawPaw doesn’t thrash unless Moonshine’s having a nightmare, and she sleeps so soundly that wouldn’t notice PawPaw doing anything unless she’d already woken up herself. So they were both having one of those nights.

    Summary

    She could picture their life in the future. Holding hands while they waited to be seated at a restaurant. Sitting by a fire in the house that they shared while wind whistled beyond the window panes. Making fun of him when his hair began to turn grey only for him to tell her that it was alright because the grey flattered him.
    They truly could be happy together.
    She hated herself for not being able to be content with it.

    In which Jo struggles with the pressure from her community to get married

    * * *

    Despite everything she preached, Jo felt upset with herself above everyone else. Laurie was not at fault for his feelings, and neither was Meg for getting married to John. Maybe I’m the problem, Jo thought. There had to be some reason why she couldn’t love Laurie like he wanted her to.
