A/N: SPOILER ALERT – DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED 4X11: EPITAPH.
Forgive me, my friends – I'm posting another one of my ramblings. I understand, if you want to skip it entirely, and again, I'm sorry to be "updating" without an actual chapter update! My Demily heart is hurting again after last night's episode though so I felt the need to vent to my fellow Demily shippers, (and am very interested as always to know your thoughts as well).
Okay, so I was NOT expecting for them to spin the story that Daniel attacked Emily, and that she in turn killed him in self-defense. That was just plain hard to watch, if you ask me. And by the way, am I the only one that is surprised by just how cold David Clarke is to his own daughter? I mean, I know twenty years of hell will change a guy, but he sort of just stood there while she put her shoulder back in its socket. I thought he was a little more of a caring dad than that. Sorry, I digress.
Back to Demily – things I am thankful for: Emily was obviously moved by Daniel's death...so much so she messed up her story to the police! When do we ever see Em off her 'A' game? I think it was a testament to just how disturbed she was by what had happened. Secondly, I believe those tears at the police station were real, and that her words were genuine. They were nice to hear. Thirdly, I'm glad she insisted on being at his funeral even though she was banned... because as she told Victoria, Daniel would have wanted her there, and she obviously wanted to pay her respects. Lastly, those flashbacks! And we got a new Demily scene! It was bittersweet, but it was a pleasant surprise.
All that to say, my Demily depression has been in full force today. Again, I do realize this is a television show, but it has made me sad, nonetheless. It makes me extra thankful though that Demily can live on via fanfiction.
So, thank you again for all your wonderful support of this story! I really cannot thank you enough. Your thoughts and words of encouragement really keep me motivated to continue to write. I've been working on Chapter Eight, and will do my best to post it quickly. :)
For any of you who have endured my rambling, thank you for indulging me. And of course, please feel free to share your comments. We can make it a group therapy session. ;)
You all are the best!
Only Hope-7 xoxo
