AN: I like to write conversations (big surprise, hahah) and this is another story that will consist only of conversations.
I don't know how long this story will be yet, but the first 13 (?) chapters are more or less one story arch, but I am planning on writing stand-alone conversations or shorter story arches as well, we'll see. As the title says, all these conversations are about love in some way.
The first chapter is similar to (but not the same as) the first chapter of my story Anniversaries, so this is not plagiarism, I allowed myself to steal it :). It will be different from then on. I am posting Chapters 1 and 2 now.
Most of the conversations are rather short and it never says who is talking but you should be able to get it from the conversation. If it isn't obvious, it isn't important who is talking.
As I said somewhere else, I am going on vacation (yeah!), so might not be able to update regularly in the next few days.
Thank you all for your support and reviews and favorites and views! You rock!

"What did the lawyer want?"
"He told me about our financial situation."
"And?"
"We are broke. If we don't find a substantial amount of money soon, we'll have to move out of this house."
"Oh dear god. What have you done?"
"I married you."
"What?"
"You hardly brought any money to this marriage. My father warned me. He said to me 'love her all you like, you will regret it once the estate is without money'. To be honest, we should probably count our lucky stars that this situation hasn't come up any earlier."
"Do you regret marrying me then?"
"No. I could never do that, I love you too much."
"What are we supposed to do now?"
"There is a very easy solution. Robert has to marry someone rich. Very rich."
"So you are asking our son to do what you didn't do yourself."
"This is different."
"Why?"
"Because he isn't in love with anyone. I fell in love with you when we were 16. There was no way I could have been content, let alone happy with anyone else."
"Let's hope Robert falls in love with the right person very soon then."
"Violet, there is no time to fall in love for him. He has to marry at the end of the season."
"Patrick, no."
"Yes. It is the only way."
"He is 19."
"We were married at 19."
"You said yourself that was different. We were in love. We still are. But Robert"
"It breaks my heart as much as yours. But he is the future Earl of Grantham and he has to do his duty."
