Summary: This is just a phase. Isn’t it?

A/N: My first het! It didn’t set out to be a drabble, but it was only the slightest hint of an idea and I didn’t want to pad it out just for the sake of word-count.

 

 

 

 

 

Just a Phase

 

 

This is just a phase, a passing fad, you know that. A rite of passage, even.

 

Isn’t it?

 

After all, every red-blooded young woman has a crush at some point on a rugged, unattainable older man.

 

Doesn’t she?

 

Because that’s all this is, a crush. Nothing more. Just a crush.

 

That look in his eye is just – stepfatherly.

 

That’s all.

 

And so what if every stroke of his pen on your hand touched a nerve? A new, grown-up nerve? It’s hardly surprising, after all.

 

He’s a very good-looking man.

 

So if – afterwards – there are tears, they’ll wash away.

 

Won’t they?

Ooh, very nice.

Reminds me of Sondheim's "The Road You Didn't Take."
