The coppery scent of blood filled her senses, choking her with its sharp, metallic bitterness. The grass beneath her was stained with fresh blood, dark and glistening under the dim lamplight. Every breath she took seemed to draw more of that metallic bitterness into her lungs, making it impossible to escape the reality of what had occurred.
Murder.
The air hummed around Eloise as she shakily reached for her phone, her bloody fingers staining the case red.
There was only one person she wanted to call.
“I need your help,” she said, the words paining her to say.
“Like, with homework?”
Eloise glanced down at the body of George Morrison, a cold chill running down her spine. “Sure. Homework.”
oh yes both reached for the gun (but the gun being mainly theloise bc i’m still upset with what pen did to them)
galois is so funny. solve a 350 year old math problem at 19. lay the foundations of group theory, also at 19. get taken as political prisoner. go to prison for several months. immediately enter a duel upon being freed and die
A lot of people compare Eloise and Theo to Anthony and Siena or Colin and Marina: where one is simply a plot device for the other. While I have my own thoughts regarding this that I won't get into, I think a more apt comparison for Eloise and Theo is Francesca and John.
We see both relationships develop, and we see a real connection between these couples despite Eloise and Francesca ending up with different people in the books. Eloise and Theo feel like "kindred spirits" due to their shared interests, and so do Francesca and John.
Theo and John also share Eloise and Francesca's love language: politics and literature, in Eloise's case, music and peace, in Francesca's case. We see this when Theo sets aside books for Eloise and when John rewrites music for Francesca. Personally, I prefer these moments to some of the grand love confessions we see in the show (which I also love, don't get me wrong). Actions speak louder than words for a reason!
Both Theo and John can also offer Eloise and Francesca the life they want: Theo offers Eloise a life outside of high society, John offers Francesca a peaceful life.
