Yes, a favor, right, she had said that in the little letter yeah? Maybe she wanted another book? Should he of brought some with him?! He wasnt sure. If anything he'd go back down the stairs and through the castle and UP more stairs to get some for her. she didnt need to do all that walking and stuff.
Just as that thought ranthrough his mind Beverly mentioned the word DIE and Jeremiah had to just blink at her....
What!?
"Beverly, you're not going to die." no she wasnt they were going to figure this out, the adults were, and if they wouldnt he would! He wasnt having his friends drop like flies around him, that was not an option for this Lion."plus, i say you're looking younger and younger each time i see you." he said with a grin moving out of the doorway and taking a step or so closer to her in the middle oft he room. He also ignored that last bit cause he refused to believe she was near death.
Actually, no. She'd been here close to over an hour and a half so she wouldn't look like an orca out of water, but he didn't need to know that. It was already embarrassing enough what she was about to ask of him...
...Though he didn't seem to get it.
He was an optimist while she was realistic. And reality was you grow old until you die. It was life and unfortunately it took Beverly being close to...
that to understand. Although, she wasn't THAT sad, she was more put off than anything that she couldn't do things teenagers did. Hopefully she'd at least get ONE thing crossed off the Bucket List.
And Jeremiah was being sweet. Like always. Could they just skip and do the Do?
"It's just magic," she said, motioning her face with a wave of her finger. "Lets face it, there's no cure," she raised her hands in case he wanted to interrupt and added, "there might be one, but I don't think many of us can wait for it."
It was really now or NEVER. REALLY. She was loosing her nerve. If she stalled more she'd just end up making a dumb excuse about owl droppings and dash for the exit.
Straightening to her full height, she squared her shoulders. "Jeremiah I'd like you to kiss me so I won't go like a total loser," she spat out quickly. OH GODS. SHE DID IT.
