A little follow-up to The Double Affair


                             

Prompted by: Why do I love You, Sir? ~Emily Dickinson

.

She cannot keep Her place.

He knew he had to break it off, but didn’t want to be callous about it. Sandy was wild about him. She could be volatile, yet that drew him to her.

Napoleon was worried  he was getting too close by seeing her more than the other women in his life.

.
The Wisdom it be so—

They lay together in her bed, as her roommate, Taffy, was off now, somewhere with Illya.

He would have never put those two together, yet when the Russian saw what he liked, he went after it without any urging. That was the way he preferred it.

                                               

Sandy was another matter...

.

And reasons not contained—Of Talk—

She cried, threw her shoe at him as he dressed himself.

“Napoleon Solo I  hate you! How can you do this to me?”

“Sandy, it has to be. Can’t risk you being hurt. If someone found out about you, you’d become my weak spot...you’d be a target.”

“Me?”

“Yes you.”

.

I love Thee—

Sandy watched as he walked out her door for the last time, and sat staring at his framed photo still on her coffee table.

Inscribed, “With love, Napoleon.” She thought that meant something, but now, perhaps not.

“I love you Napoleon Solo,” she whispered, throwing the picture into the fireplace.

Awww... poor Sandy. Napoleon certainly leaves a trail of tears.

Thanks! As you recall, Sandy was a pretty wild one and sort of hounded Napoleon. Might have been a good move for him to cut the ties with her after all. Telling her she wasn't safe was a better let down than just dumping her I suppose?

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

Had me choked up--knowing that this wasn't to be. And I agree Sandy was a wild one and hounded Napoleon.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Thanks, yes she most certainly was, and it probably was a good move on his part to....move on.

I really do like the way you've incorporated the poetry challenge into the weekly drabble. This was a lot of story in very few words.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

The original challenge was to take the 5th line of each stanza of a single poem and write a half-drabble, but I've changed it up a bit, sometimes using a complete but short poem and composing a full drabble or two inspired by it. I go back to the half drabbles too.

Glad I only do these once a week as they're not that easy to do. Thanks for the compliment and for commenting!

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

I keep saying I'm going to go back to them, but my plate feels a little full with the picfic, weekly drabble, quote me, mfu100 challenges plus whatever else I come up with. We'll see.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

OMG! You do have enough on your plate already! There's only so many ponds one can jump.

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

No more than you. You do picfic (including picking the pic!), weekly drabble, quote me and I forgot; we both do song story plus your other stories, too. We both write a lot.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

You forgot 'Snapshots".,...I'm writing almost a ficlet a day on that one, and have at least a back up of 30 stories. I love writing them and think they're my favorites.

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Nope, didn't forget Snapshots; that falls under "the other stuff" I was talking about; things that have nothing to do with challenges or prompts, just stuff that we want to write, like my last Boston Legal tale.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

True, didn't think that. Hey you getting heavy T-storms and rain by you. They keep rolling in and out of here, one minute thunder boomers and as downpour, the next minute the sun is blazing.

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Couple of light showers, no thunderstorms at all yet. Some clouds passed by, no rain.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Wow it keeps getting dark and pouring, back to bright sunny skies all afternoon. At least the T-storms have stopped for now.

I think it also hurt Napooleon a bit to let her go, though I think he would have found her too much eventually. Probably a good escape.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely a good escape. She was a bit of a wacky character in the TV episode.
Thanks for the comment!

Poor Sandy... but it's still a lovely drabble. :)

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

Chuckle...she was not a favorite character of mine on the show. Thanks for reading and the comment. Great to hear from you and stay safe!

[spotsycool.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that she wasn't a favourite of mine either. lol

Thanks, you too!
