Not that anyone was ever in a good mood on a Friday morning, but… the man glaring at me was always in a bad mood when he wore white. When I had seen him that morning bent over the opened hood of an early 1950’s GMC truck, a hint of a white compression shirt showing beneath his coveralls, I’d known he was in a bad mood to begin with. Who was I kidding? I would have bet all of my money that was exactly why. If I had to guess why I was the lucky winner of that mouth being turned down, it might have been because I’d had my eyes closed for… I glanced at my old but faithful G-Shock watch… the last twenty minutes. The man who had his hands on his hips as he frowned. It was the “Goddamn it, Luna,” that had me prying an eyelid open.īut it was the rumbled, deep voice saying it that had me aiming my eyeball in the direction of the man standing about ten feet away. It's a story about the people who guide, the people who follow and the desire within all of us to be pulled into the light. At its heart, The Female Persuasion is about the flame we all believe is flickering inside of us, waiting to be seen and fanned by the right person at the right time.

What happened to Reynolds? And is there hope that their love story will resurface in Bridgerton season three? While George and Charlotte's story came to a bittersweet resolution, Reynolds and Brimsley (or #Rensley as they shall be known thus forth) were ushered out by the end credits with plenty left unanswered. Not to mention obstacles that erect themselves between the two, threatening the longevity of their relationship. It has all the key markers of a main-story Bridgiverse romance: a forbidden connection palpable, racing passion. Queen Charlotte and King George's touching love story slipping into the background to make room for Reynolds (Freddie Dennis) and Brimsley's romance to take the lead.

The old woman looks up at the sergeant with the expression of a mother who has at last discovered her strayed child. The most accurate word that I can select from my head’s whole range of Japanese and Chinese phrases is “hanging on.” The sergeant looks down on the old woman with the expression on one happy to have found lost and precious property. … I consequently could not say either that she clung to the sergeant or that she drew herself close to him. Soon the soldier’s mother appears, and I liked this excerpt: One soldier, a sergeant, reminds the narrator of his friend, Ko-san. Part I is a bit somber regarding the plot due to its description on the Russo-Japan war in Manchuria, then a key character leads us to a welcome scene for those soldiers who did not fall in the war. However, I preferred the three-part story, that is, “The Heredity of Taste” in which I could feel more comfortable and hopeful through my reading. Possibly I might be more optimistic after rereading them. I hoped I would enjoy more in reading the second which is mostly dialog-oriented between two characters, I wondered how I could appreciate it more than what I had thought and decided as a nearly unimpressive story. I found reading the first two stories, “Ten Nights of Dream” and “Hearing Things” tedious and vague due to my unfamiliarity with surrealism, especially in the first one. When Jenny falls into the stream, Jim instinctively plunges in after her and Garth follows.
