"She isn’t you and she won’t ever be you. I don’t want a female form of you, I don’t need another form of you. She is fine as she is but she won’t stay that way, you’ll do whatever you want to make her into you.” Which is actually a shame because Delilah is sweet and innocent and a lovely woman who Salome was starting to like because she is kind and sort of innocent, a different view from what she has been given. But now she isn’t sweet is she? She is just as warped and twisted as Richard and that’s fine for Richard, that’s what he wants, what he apparently aches for and needs and what Salome won’t ever be.
It will change things.
He doesn’t see it, but it will, and maybe they’ll be subtle, or huge, but they’ll change. Nothing ever stays the same, that’s not how things work but that doesn’t mean Salome has to like it or adjust to it right away. She flipped out when he told her about Delilah, flipped out when he brought her over for dinner and he didn’t expect her to flip out when he told her they were getting married?
What just blows her away is that he didn’t think she wanted to marry him. She shoves the bag of ice back on to her knuckles and everything sort of goes white around the edges and her eyes go all watery.
“So this is clearly all my decision now, yeah, I can’t take myself to the ER but sure you can ask me to ruin two peoples lives, you’re an asshole.” She looks at him as if he just ran over her dog.
“You refuse to let me be an adult; I can’t date, oh hell no, but expect me to make adult decision on if you should get married or not so you get away scott free. You realize that’s what you’re doing right?” Another shake of her head and she just stares at him before continuing on.
“You know, I could have resented this marriage thing and gotten over it, but now you’re putting me in this position and I don’t appreciate it and that’s what really kills me. So get married and know full well that action wasn’t want made me resent the ever living shit out of you but you asking me to make a decision on your life, passing the buck because you can’t live to take responsibility over upsetting one of us. Grow a pair.”
