#you fell in love with her by degrees #you’ve always fallen in love with stories hard and fast but she is not a story #she is – as she is so fond of reminding you – a person #more than her father’s regrets and less than a nation’s last great hope #you already loved dorothy the story but you had to peel back the layers #(and she had to let you #to want you to) #to love dorothy the person #’there’s no happily ever after’ she says the day the both of you leave the emerald city together #she says ‘there’s no such thing because this isn’t a story #but there is happiness #because this is life’ #she’s holding your hand and she’s smiling at you #and this is how you know it’s true (siterlas)
