Othello

Fan-fiction based on the 1987 TV show. An excerpt:

“No,” he said quickly, and squeezed her shoulders a little. “No more secrecy, no more words left unspoken.” He looked deeply into her eyes. “Do you remember when you were offered a job in Providence? You told me you cared for me deeply, but that you were unhappy because our relationship was not progressing, not growing as it should have. Instead of encouraging you to take a job that would separate us, I should have taken you in my arms and held you, as I hold you now, and told you how I felt. I should have said, ‘I love you, Catherine.’” He kissed her, softly, slowly. “’I love you. Stay with me.’” He kissed her again, just as softly, but his soft lips lingered longer on hers. “I should have said, ‘Stay with me all the days of our lives, love me and let me love you.’ And I should have kissed you then, as I kiss you now.” He tightened his embrace, pulling her up, and he pressed his lips on hers, tenderly, gently, but deeply.
