Eleanor Webb
Age: 20
Occupation: Nurse
Likes: The sea, her job, colorful flowers, sunset, peace, eyeliner, high-quality fabrics, embracings, stripes, hair ribbons, being outside, black tea, long walks, smoking secretly, the stars and the moon
Dislikes: Fortune, poverty, sickness, dull colors, gossip, people who pretend to be something they're not, being caged in situations, pigeons, champagne, too much make-up, cars, her engagement to peter fitzgerald, hot weather, beastly manners
Bio: Eleanor is the poster child of rightfulness. She never does things that are considered bad or scandalous. She's strictly devoted to spending her spare time with her fiancé, Peter Fitzgerald although there's a lot of tension between them because she is not content with the idea of marrying to a rich family. What Eleanor hasn't told Peter is that she doesn't really think the marriage will work, but she's so blinded by the idea of commitment that she is afraid she'll never be able to tell him that she doesn't want to marry the Fitzgeralds.
Relationship status: Engaged to Peter Fitzgerald
Model: Anna Karina

story;
I watch myself in the mirror; stare at big cat-eyed eyes, a crinkled nose and lips many men called kissable before.
I run my fingers through my hair-ends, unknotting some last strains.
My dress fits perfectly, the lace of the sleeves touches my skin almost too soft to notice - there's just nothing else to focus on.
i close my eyes.
breath in. and out.
someone is at the door, trying to unlock it. I can hear the door unlocking. steps. /his/ steps.
"eleanor?" i don't answer. I know that he's going to find me. He always does.
although i still keep my eyes shut, i feel his eyes on me.
"you're okay?" his voice is soft, gentle.
I nod.
I finally open my eyes and take a look at him. peter Fitzgerald. my fiancé. how can it be that I'm not feeling any better? i have everything others wish for, but there's still this crumbling in my stomach. the questions in my head.
"how many?" i mean the people who came to our engagement party. which is tonight. and all i can think of is that i don't love this man.
he shrugs. his suit fits perfectly and although i'm not really into peter, i still have to admit that he's good-looking.
"just a few - family and such."
i crack a smile. i know what 'a few' means.
"i don't think i'm ready for this."
"you're scared?" i close my eyes again.
and then i feel his hand in mine, his fingers interlacing with mine.
"look at me, eleanor." i can't.
but i do.
"don't be scared. everything is going to be okay. it's just our family and friends. and they just want to see your ring. you're safe with me."
"i can't." i can smell him. his breath and his skin.
"i don't want to."
it's not like i don't like peter. he's such a nice man and he wants all the best for the people around him, but i just don't /love/ him. and i don't want to marry someone i don't love. especially none of the Fitzgeralds. they're all rich and representing. that isn't a life i would choose for myself, but it's the right thing for me. it's good.
peter releases my hand, stands up and stretches his arms out for a second.
then someone's knocking at the door, but none of us reacts.
"can we talk about this later?"
i nod again. sometime it's all i can do.
this time i take his hand, before i stand up and clear my dress.
we walk out of our room, through magnificent corridors, before stopping in front of a golden double door.
peter squeezes my hand. the door swing open. and i smile.
people stare at us. peter smiles at me and i smile at him.
and while talking about my ring and wedding dress with 'friends' i have never seen before, i realize that this won't make me happy.
ever.
