I read this a while ago and it *really* spoke to me. Eric is a fantastic writer with a love for—and understanding of—women that’s inspiring af. I keep saying I want him to be cloned because he’s too damn far away and I need a British version of him real bad – I’m only half joking. This man is wonderful: both as a writer and a human being 💜
She is bruised
but
She is not broken
She coils
around her heart
like the warm earth
embraces the seed
protecting it
from the frozen world above
gathering her strength
until the spring
when she shall rise
and the world shall bear witness
to her beauty
in bright vermillion
courage
*authors note: Another tribute to all the brave female hearts I am privileged to know.
I love these words. X

lol. But if he’s cloned, surely there will be more than one! 😛

Yes, but he is so very special isn’t he? It’s bound to take time to create more than one “worthy” copy…and I’ve got to have the first one! 😋
Do you think Eric might feel flattered reading this…or tempted to run for the hills? 😂

Lol! I suppose it will take time, that’s true. This is not the first he’s heard of cloning himself so I don’t think he’d be worried. 😄 It’s not like we’re talking about sharing him…that might be scary. 😜😂

“Sharing him”? Vic, we don’t want such a lovely man to suffer “death by exhaustion”…and that’s what would happen if we both got our hands on him 😋😂

But wouldn’t that be a lovely way to go? 😂 But I can be gentle…probably. 😈😛

I guess it would be. Except I don’t want him to go! Even like that! 😋
As for you being able to “do” gentle…😂😂

Oh god, me either!! I love him so much! ☺️ As for gentle…I can do gentle for a while…maybe at the end. 😄😋

At the end…once they’ve been driven mad by your wild lust and they don’t even know their own names anymore? 😝

Yes. After they’ve been drained of every bit of fluid and are lying there completely mindless and exhausted…yes, then I will be exceedingly gentle. 😈😂
