Re: Eleanor & Gaspard & Open
Gaspard laughed, "Sexual harassment? I would never," he shook his head in mock hurt, "It would never be considered harassment, at least," he said with a grin. Eleanor was beautiful, and probably the closest person in the world to him, so of course he'd thought about it. "Charlotte did mention something about my intentions not long ago, do you two often talk about me?" He gave her a smile that said he liked the idea that they did.
"I think a second midnight sounds lovely, if you wouldn't mind company on that beach?" He thought of taking his shoes and socks off, wading in to the water just a bit, just to feel it, and counting down loudly or quietly or any way he liked. Eleanor was a wonderful friend in that way - she let him be how he liked, which wasn't exactly typical.
Just then, the crowd around them started counting down at 10 seconds to midnight. He lifted his eyebrows, "Speaking of," and he smiled down at her.
