WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a scene between two characters who have suppressed their feelings for each other.
What features of dialogue or behaviour could you highlight in this kind of relationship?
He And Another
He glances at her, he feels his throat close.
He stares and stares at her features even as he feels the bile rise.
Rise up and up just like her gaze until it pounces on him, his own eyes taken aback by the attention of hers.
She is reeling, her heart pounding yet slowing as she takes in his attention, feeling sick.
“…Hey.”
Her eyes slightly widen before she catches herself.
“Um..hi.”
They both flash a smile, a pathetic glimmer of their pearly whites.
Their face freezes up again and they become statues once again.
Statues yearning to be placed by one another.
