Re: EDeN (Eric & Natalia) #3:
Is it just me or when Eric gives Ryan the "Green Light" to ask Natalia out does he look like he's ready to cry?
About your question, I thought it looked more like Eric was about to punch something rather than about to cry, but that's just me.
I would say it was a cross between being just truly bummed & pissed off. He looked more sad when the moment came later that Natalia asked him what he said & when he noted that "it wasn't like that" -- that's when he looked really sad (see image in slideshow) knowing that he had just screwed up with her. Then she told him "here's what I know -- you & I actually had a chance, & you just blew it". That line made me want to cry cause Natalia looked so hurt. It's moments like that one that frustrate me to no end though cause they never let us see if they told each other the truth in what actually happened & what was said. *mumbles foul launguage at tptb*
As for conversations, Eden should have had... let's go back to the pregnancy scare. I loved their reactions to it, especially Eric's "whew" in the elevator. :lol: That was just major cuteness. But, I would have liked for them to have had a discussion about kids. Like:
Natalia: Do you think that you would want kids? You know, someday in the future... not too sudden future, but not too distant either.
My favorite part of that entire conversation was when she told him she hadn't been with anyone else since her divorce, & he said "I believe you, Talia". Just the way he said it was so sweet, he trusted her, & I liked that we didn't even know about her marriage at that time but he did. It gave off the impression that they did communicate about personal things off screen, & that it was more than just a physical thing.
Here's the conversation I'd love to see EDeN have about the baby stuff:
Eric: *looking at an old photo of Nat* "How old were you in this picture?"
Natalia: *looks over* "Oh, maybe 2, I think"
Eric: *stares at photo & slightly laughs*
Natalia: "what??"
Eric: "No, it's nothing"
Natalia: *gives off questionative stare*
Eric: *nervous & fidgety* "It's just..when you thought that we might be, ya know .....this is exactly what I imagined her to look like, like you."
Natalia: *surprised* "You imaged it...& it was a
her?" *smiles*
Eric: "Well,
yeah..I mean, I had to think about the possibility" *stares at Nat sweetly*
Natalia: *playing it cool, hiding her emotions* "well...it was just a scare, so...guess we got lucky."
Eric: *smiles & stares at photo* "yeah"
End of scene.
a few months later:
Eric: "are you ok, you look sick"
Nat: "it isn't the flu this time, Eric. :angel:
MrsDW, I'm gonna take a look at that FF later when I get more time. I gotta scoot at the moment.
