I think we should get together now.. WLW ( strictly )

returning to normalcy

Eleanor's Perspective:

The week after their kiss was a whirlwind of emotions and events. Eleanor and Blair spent every available moment together, cherishing the newfound depth of their relationship. Each day brought them closer, and their bond strengthened with each shared secret and tender touch.

Monday morning arrived, and Eleanor was preparing to return to her job at the school. She was nervous, not because of her professional duties, but because of the potential scrutiny they might face. Blair, too, was apprehensive, but she was also determined to continue her healing journey with Eleanor by her side.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Blair asked, sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea, watching Eleanor gather her things.

Eleanor smiled, trying to project confidence. "I am. We've come so far, Blair. And I have to trust that we can handle whatever comes our way."

Blair nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "I believe in us. We can do this."

Blair's Perspective:

Returning to school was a significant milestone for Blair. She had been through so much, and now, with Eleanor's support and her own growing resilience, she felt ready to face the challenges ahead. Walking into the building that morning, she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Her friends greeted her warmly, relieved to see her back. Classes resumed their usual rhythm, and Blair found comfort in the familiarity of her routine. She was doing much better, her therapy sessions helping her navigate her emotions and build coping strategies.

Throughout the week, Blair and Eleanor managed to keep their relationship discreet. They exchanged subtle glances and shared quiet moments when they could, careful not to draw attention to themselves. Eleanor’s return to teaching went smoothly, and she felt a renewed sense of purpose in her work.

Eleanor's Perspective:

By midweek, Eleanor was fully immersed in her teaching duties. She was relieved that no one seemed to suspect anything about her and Blair. The students were focused on their studies, and the faculty were preoccupied with their own responsibilities.

One afternoon, Eleanor stayed late to grade papers. Blair had finished her classes for the day and decided to wait for her in the library. As Eleanor worked, she felt a sense of peace she hadn’t experienced in a long time. The fear and guilt that had plagued her were slowly being replaced by a quiet confidence.

When Eleanor finally left her classroom, she found Blair waiting for her in the library, engrossed in a book. She smiled, feeling a warmth spread through her at the sight of Blair so focused and content.

“Ready to go?” Eleanor asked softly, not wanting to startle her.

Blair looked up, her face lighting up with a smile. “Yeah, I’m ready.”

They walked out of the school together, the early evening sun casting a golden glow over everything. It felt like a new beginning, a chance to move forward with hope and love.

Blair's Perspective:

By the end of the week, Blair felt a significant shift in herself. She was more confident, more at ease with her emotions, and more in control of her life. Her sessions with the therapist were proving invaluable, and she was learning to cope with her anxiety and fears.

Eleanor’s presence continued to be a source of strength for Blair. They had developed a routine that balanced their professional responsibilities with their personal relationship. Every evening, they spent time together, talking about their days, sharing their thoughts, and simply enjoying each other’s company.
