I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day, and a pleasant Family Day! I was out of town at a convention (thank you to the readers who came out to say hi!) so you'll have to satisfy yourself with a continuation of this tender moment between our favourite not-quite-couple.

So happy...

But wait.
Pretty sure that was only Beauty's heart b-bmping earlier... and now she looks like she's listening for something - and not finding it.
Hi Meagan, we meet at the syndicon on sunday, i was the guy who talked with you for a bit,i had a cane, asking if your story had Stockholm syndrome lol, but all seriousness. THIS IS THE BEST BEAUTY AND THE BEAST STORY ive ever read, ive cried so much reading this, im amazed by your talent in this story, love the art style and the chemistry youve built into Beauty and Beast is like nothing i could possibly imagine, love this story and i cant wait for the next parts, keep being Awesome,
Now they're getting very, very close, as pressed up together as they are. There is something slightly ominous here, though. While the Beast is looking down at her, Beauty is looking down at their reflections. I think she might be projecting on their situation a little--thinking about what she wants to see in him/the change she wants to see in him, rather than the reality of what he is right now. This could very well lead to a misunderstanding or worse between them.
Wait, wait, wait! In the reflection is Beauty wearing her swan cape?! Wait what? Sooo... the castle is showing Beauty what they are are what it wants her to think? As in Beast being a man and she being a half-swan maiden. But of course she probably isn't looking at herself.
