theatrical_muse Read my mind
Jul. 30th, 2007 08:31 amIf you could read my mind right now… Talk about a conversation when what you said was not what you were thinking.

I'm expected to choose only one time that this happened? I'm afraid that would be practically impossible as the difference between what I say and what I think is almost a constant. And trust me, my dear, you would not like my honesty.
But for the matter of this exercise, I'll give the example of recent events. It was 1941 and there was a dance sending off our brave flyboys. Of course, in reality that wasn't the real purpose of the occasion. I needed the Rift opened, and the ones to do that for me were Torchwood. There was one young captain at the dance called Jack Harkness. You see, I am very meticulous in my planning and he being there was no accident. In order to return to their own time, Torchwood had to open the Rift. In order to keep the other Harkness distracted, because he would know the true danger, I had the real Jack.
They were getting along well enough, but it needed something more. Some guilt. And it worked so much better than I thought it would. You see, it was not the first time that Captain Harkness (the real one) had been to the Ritz, and I had seen his girlfriend, Nancy. So, when I saw that the two Jacks needed a little push in the right direction, in she came. I quite enjoyed being her, playing the gooseberry acting all hurt, but underneath encouraging Jack to do just that. He only had eyes for the fake. After excusing myself, and retreating to the cloakroom, I knew he would follow poor, forlorn Nancy. A gentleman, but he had no intention of staying with her, rather he wanted "Jack Harper." After helping me into her coat, I hugged him and told him, "I love you," when all the time, I was whispering to him:
YOU DON'T WANT HER TO STAY.
