Summary
"Your sermon," you mutter, ignoring the urge to lick your lips. Tempting the bear, the beast, as much as you have tonight can only go so far before he shirks this veneer of passivity and finally sinks his teeth into you. The rosary still dangles, threateningly, from his wrist. He hums, and you tear your gaze away from the wine-coloured spill of it. "You said—" you stop, sucking in a breath. Daddy doesn't like it when his words are thrown back in his face—verbatim or exaggerated, you'll just invoke his ire and you can feel his patience thinning rapidly already.
"God wants you to marry, doesn't he?"
OR: deep in the swamps of the Atchafalaya, John makes you answer God's call.

Summary
The first thing he says to you is:
if you were mine, you'd be tucked in bed already instead of drinking alone in a goddamn bar—
Despite it being the most ostentatious thing anyone has ever said to you, it's full of mockery, too—an infantilising barb drenched in ownership, possession. As if you're a trinket to be kept; a child in need of supervision. A firmer hand, perhaps.
(and those gruff words cause two problems for you: the first is that you're not sure if he means it in a parental way—an innocuous sentiment from an overbearing, but well-intentioned, father angry on your behalf—or a bald, albeit gruff, pickup line from a man with stress lines older than you.
the second is that you're not entirely sure which one you want it to be more.)

Summary
“Nice to meet you, Ella. I’m Lois.”
“I know.”
“You do?”
The girl’s lips started to quiver. Instinctively, Lois reached to tuck away an unruly curl. The touch caused the girl to jolt and immediately break down. Before Lois knew it, Ella wrapped her arms around her neck so tight she could barely breathe.
“I miss you so much.”
