As I was thinking about Gargoyle, trying to figure out something I wanted to share about the story, I ran into a curious thought. Elizabeta, the heroine from the story, wants things I never considered before. She wants to be a girly girl, she wants to have her feet washed, and she wants to have a huge white wedding with all the frills.
Well, maybe I wanted the big fancy wedding, but the other things not so much. Aelius, the hero, goes out of his way to bring those wants to reality. He slowly transforms her living area from a dreary, crumbling room to a place of comfort and memories.
And the foot washing thing… Where did that come from? I’m waaay too ticklish. No one’s touching the bottoms of my feet without me squirming away! But Elizabeta dreams of a man who washes and messages her feet with scented oils and rose petals. Her gargoyle does the best he can with their surroundings, and has her melting in the palm of his hand. He even has to remind her to breathe.
I hope someone finds a way of turning your wants into a reality today!
