Fics like a nascent theory

Belle is developing a new theory. Jack takes some convincing. “What sort of bet?” Belle says, tilting her neck to one side. Jack is suppressing a smile. “Whatever you’d like.” “If I win, you have to support my theory.” “Done.” He’s lacing his fingers and stretching them, as if preparing for some complex surgical effort. It’s quite concerning, really. “So let me get this straight,” he says. “You’ll be trying very hard not to enjoy yourself, is that correct?”
