P&P - Anne/Charlotte
They are in the thick of a love affair before Anne can really consider how they got there. Day by day, hour by hour, she and Charlotte have become more demonstrative in their affections, more intimate in their friendship. It is more natural than not to be in Charlotte’s arms whenever they are alone. Anne’s body has always been a source of weakness, pain and frustration to her. Now she feels as light as a butterfly, quivering in response to Charlotte’s touch. She feels rejuvenated.
Charlotte holds her tenderly, her consistent kindness making Anne feel safe to ask for more.
