This is a short little...I suppose you would call it a story? I wrote the other day. It is from Col. Brandon's point of view, and is based on his first meeting with Marianne Dashwood.
I must warn you - I have not actually read the novel.
This is based more so on the film version.
I am not sure how different the two are from each others.
So if this bothers anyone, well, sorry. I did warn you.
With that being said: Enjoy! :)
I stood there in the doorway, watching.
Silently watching as this beautiful creature sang in the purest, most angelic voice I had ever heard.
My palms felt clammy.
My heart was racing.
What was happening?
Was I becoming ill?
When she finished singing, those in the room clapped, showering her with praise for her beautiful performance.
I heard my name being announced, when suddenly her blue-eyed gaze met mine.
As my mouth grew dry, and my ability to speak became temporarily unavailable, it dawned on me as to what was happening.
As ludicrous as it may sound, I was falling for this young woman, and falling hard.
Up until this moment, I had not believed in 'love at first site'.
She managed to show me otherwise.
I was officially a love struck fool, and all over a young woman I had just met.
