It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 7.1 (wip)

“Oh please stay,” she said wiping tears from her face. “I know Teddy and Rebecca would love to have you here. They’re both so fund of you.” Virgil looked up momentarily, he wondered what Lisa meant by that last comment. He’d never seen or heard of this guy before. Why was he there; this should be a time for family, he thought. Little by little over the next couple of hours more family and close friends showed up to give their support. The crowd had to be moved to a waiting room down the hall. Somehow, Lisa became the designated message taker; her phone was flooded with calls from people wanting to know updates. Eventually, even Mr. Thornton showed up. He had his nurse get him a taxi. He came in and sat next to Lisa as she took her calls. He held her purse and her coffee and even her hand when she needed it.

Tea and Conversation 19: Love Triangles

Today I’m sharing a picture a Rose Chintz Cottage tea cup I posted on my tea pin board.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Full Moon and I’m writing about: Why love triangles?

This is a question I often ask myself. Why did I write a love triangle? I hate love triangles. For the most part, they are filled with unnecessary drama and people behaving selfishly. I always figured that the person at the center of the triangle was just a mean person, probably, undeserving of the affections of the other two.

Then I got the idea to put myself in a scenario where I’d ever be caught up in that kind of situation, just to see if I could be compassionate about the predicament. I thought about three movies that I actually like that contain love triangles, to some degree, to use for inspiration. In the end, I decided that the characters of these movies were just as I had originally thought- selfish, but not so undeserving of affection. In truth we are all selfish to some degree.

So after considering all that, I decided to write a love triangle that made sense to me. I came up with characters and situations that seemed plausible to me while also being fairly entertaining. I don’t see many more love triangles in my future. This one has been more of a challenge than I ever imagined, but I’m glad I did it. It forced me to point my judgmental finger at myself and see that not all drama is bad and or superficial. While this is a work of fiction, people really do go through this kind of stuff. Just because it was easy for me to find the love of my life, it doesn’t mean that everyone else has to have the same story.

“Oh come on Mr. T, you know we’re buds. You don’t have to play it off just because Paul’s coming home,” said Teddy standing up and spinning around. “There’s enough of me to be shared by all.”

“I hate to wonder what calamity is going on between the two of you now,” said Paul as he walked up behind Teddy. Teddy turned, picked Paul up, and spun him around in circles.

“Dude, how was Cancun?” shouted Teddy giving no concern to the hundreds of people he’d just startled at four o’clock in the morning.

“It was fine, Teddy really. We’ll talk about it later,” he said walking over to his dad to help him up out of his seat. “Dad you didn’t have to come all the way out here just to pick me up?”

“I know I didn’t, but I figured as long I can, I should,” he said giving his son a big bear hug.
