Rules of Civilization
Chapter 2: Punishment???
"Lizzie! Elizabeth wait, wait right where you are⦠STOP!"
"Jack. Be serious about this. You wanted my fathers consent on the marriage, you, need to earn it. And damn it Jack, you can't earn anything acting like a fool."
"Lizzie, you know I'll be fine, but truly, a wig, and costume. And that's what it is, a costume! I don't dress like Norrie or Beckett and you know that."
"Jack," Elizabeth took his face in her hands, "I know you don't, and I love you for it. But think of my father. He didn't like Will, he thought WILL was bad. Just, try. Please. For my sake at least."
"Yes, Lizzie. I try. But, but If I slip up, do I get punished."
"No Jack. No, I don't enjoy punishing you, because it always affects me. Savvy?"
"Yes, my dear."
With that, Elizabeth pulled his face towards her, and kissed him.
