Oh, Pixie was being her giddy self. She knew she'd told Roman to much. Not so much about Cyrus, but about Leon.
He was her first big love. Sure, she'd had crushes before, but he was the real deal. She'd gone off with him for a month or more on her summer from leaving school. He'd changed her life forever. And she'd thought it for the best too. Even for a short time.
How come it felt like years and years now? Oh, he'd promised her a lot with his small ballet company. They would settle somewhere near Paris. Yet all along, he smoked too much. He drank too much. And of course, the rest was now history.
Oh, what a ride it had been, but she soon learned he was married with children. And she didn't want to be that kind of person. It felt as if everything unraveled after that. Naturally, no one seemed to think she was a good person.
"I haven't been the same since," she was honest with Roman. Although, he didn't really say anything. Maybe she would have felt better if he'd given her a hug. But he didn't. He wasn't that kind of a work husband.
"I guess, they think I..I would hurt Cyrus," she didn't like being typecast. "You don't think that way? Do you?"
Roman said at the time, she had a good heart and good hearts knew what to do.
She wanted to believe that. She did. Of course, she wasn't certain she believed Cori when she said Cyrus had a problem. Of course, he wouldn't say much more.
Just what kind of problem did he have? She was certain they were wrong about Cyrus. They had to be. He was so insightful and genuine. She'd never met anyone quite like him.
There was a time when all she wanted was to be wined and dined and given pretty things, but those days didn't exist anymore. Yes, she was certain she'd been given too much and she'd never appreciated any of it. Not the way she felt about Cyrus.
It's always good to begin the week reading such a nice chapter! :) Have a good week.

Those Parisians and their affairs!
ReplyDeleteI loved the chapter. Sometimes, knowing who we think we already know is a problem.

ReplyDeleteI liked reading this little story!
ReplyDeleteLeon has certainly done a number on Pixie: " . . . but she soon learned he was married with children. And she didn't want to be that kind of person. It felt as if everything unraveled after that." I sort of know what she means. When I was a kid, I was a little disappointed whenever the prince and princess got married at the end of the fairy tale. Because I knew that that meant the end of the good stuff; if there was anything magical about being married, then they'd show us instead of slapping on a "happily ever after." I think of lot girls (and boys) are influenced by that. Still, Pixie seems like she might have real issues with intimacy -- and reality. I like that she's so taken with Cyrus -- but I do think it's odd that she's not making the connection that the very things she loves about him are the things that make him vulnerable. Not that there's something "wrong" with him, but that he needs to be handled with care. This storyline is very, very compelling and one of my favorites on this blog. You write with such insight for both Cyrus and Pixie, making their story seem real. :)
