John Seward / Mina Harker / Lucy Weston - timeloops (2/2)
Date: 2016-11-19 10:26 pm (UTC)Lucy looked from Mina to Doctor Seward, and a smile spread across her face. "Either you are right, and I am in peril from the Count. Or this is pure invention, and you wish to trick me into an elopement. Then by all means, let us have the elopement. We shall leave at once."
"At once?" Doctor Seward repeated.
"Before the Count hears of this plan, of course." She hurried around the table and caught hold of his arm. "There is not a minute to lose."
"But your reputation—"
"By your own account, we must choose between our reputations or my life. If society considers what we are about to do beyond forgiveness, then so be it." More or less dragging Doctor Seward, she headed back to Mina's side. "Are you with us, Mina?"
"I—" Mina seemed carried away by the speed of events. "I am, Lucy."
"You still look worried, Mina. I wish I were in your position. Imagine! The ability to do whatever one liked for ten days, knowing that after that time, all worldly consequences of one's actions would be gone forever." She kissed Mina on the cheek, then Doctor Seward. "Are you sure that you can resist such a temptation?"
Privately, she realised, she was already hoping that the answer — at least as regarded her own situation — would be 'no'.

I am currently world's best expert on this adaptation for Reasons. But I actually read this last thing before turning the computer off and it made me happy ever since, nitpicks regardless.)
