Author's Notes
I used to absolutely hate, and now only tolerate, the word "lover." To me it has this blend of saccharine, melodramatic, and brazen connotations that I just don't like. I think that's because I associate it with the Mercedes Lackey books my first college boyfriend got me reading? It's still not a word I use for real people's personal lives, but this phrase came to me as I was editing, and it seemed right for this pair, and so here we are.
I started writing this on a rainy day. I was in a coffee shop with one of my sweeties, who was in town for a long visit. I was feeling worn down by a lot of good-yet-intense things going on in my life, and a rejection notice that meant promising things for the future and yet stung. The writing tank was feeling very empty, but I really wanted to get some words on paper during that afternoon in a cafe, and I really wanted to get back to a habit of contributing to S2B2 for a while.
