james + roxanne

( existential crisis )

Roxanne has cut through the hearts of many men and women, and she has no boundaries any more. After Fred, there wasn't much she wouldn't do.

James has crossed the line with Dominique, with Rose, with Victoire even. At this point, the line is so worn and warped that he doesn't much care what the people on the other side of it think of him.

They are a match made simultaneously in heaven and in hell; they are Adam and Eve, they made the earth. The ground they stand on exists because of them. They were the angels that fell from heaven but were too good for hell. They are one and the same, but they are also opposites. He is water, and sometimes he is boiled and angry and steam, but mainly he is just the calm of an ocean that hides its waves until it has a swimmer pulled in with the tide. She is fire, pure and simple, and she will burn anyone who comes near her, but sometimes they crave the danger.

James kisses her, and the water puts the flame out.

Fred worries that Roxanne is having an existential crisis, but Dominique and Rose and Victoire all know that Roxanne is just hooked, because James may be water, but he is also cocaine, destructive and addictive and he is going to rip her life apart.

But she intends to let him.
