The lake house (Fragment)
Alex Wyler Kate, have you… read Persuasion?
Kate Forster What?
Alex Wyler By Jane Austen.
Kate Forster I know who it’s by. Yeah, it’s, um… It’s my favorite book. Why…? Why did you bring something like that up? What made you bring that up?
Alex Wyler I just… A friend of mine gave it to me recently, and I was wondering… what it’s about.
Kate Forster It’s… It’s wonderful.
Alex Wyler Yeah.
Kate Forster Yeah. It’s about, um… About waiting. These two people, they… They, uh… They meet… They almost fall in love,
but the timing isn’t right. They… They have to part. And then, years later, they… They meet again. They get another chance. You know, but they don’t know if too much time has passed. If they waited too long, if it’s, you know, too late to make it work.
…
“There could have never been two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved. Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement”. (Jane Austen, Persuasion)
