A Little Drabble Do Ya: Private Conversation

“Miss Rogers, were you able to go to Cartier’s?”

“Yes, Mr. Waverly; on my way home yesterday.  If I may say, that bracelet you picked out for Mrs. Waverly is simply stunning.  She is going to love it.”

He harrumphed, “I hope so.  I was away so much for so many years that I feel I must make it up to her.”

“Sir, I’ve seen the two of you; she loves you and knows you adore her.  You’re very fortunate.”

“Miss Rogers, you will love again one day.  Mr. Schofield would want you to be happy.”

“Thank you.  You’re right.”

You're showing a really nice side to Alexander Waverly, one we don't get to see that often as he's usually portrayed as the big man in charge, having to be detached as sometimes he knows he sending his people to their death. (not intentionally, of course)

Mr. Waverly, in my opinion, is an old, dangerous man who was lucky enough to meet the love of his life early on and build a life with her. So, though he is a consummate professional, there is a tender romantic heart underneath it all and sometimes, he lets it show.

I think he would show it at work most often to Lisa Rogers as she works closest with him.

I agree with you, and that's a good point about LIsa. She seems to be the assistant that outlasted all the others, so it makes sense there'd be a closer relationship.

Very nice, indeed. Thanks for commenting.

A charming view of the venerable Old Man. It's nice for him to acknowledge the need to keep his wife happy as she collects the little blue boxes ;)

Mr. Waverly is no fool; he knows the saying "Happy wife, happy life."

A lovely vignette. The tender side of Alexander Waverly hasn't been explored by very many writers, so it's pretty much uncharted territory. I love your take on it.

Thank you.
