I have a feeling he's in the center of the maze, and she's gonna have to deal with some blunt, unflinching truth about him/herself/her mom and decide whether that eats her up or she wants to find him still.
Sadly though too I think it won't be a "you came back...!" but more of a "I never wanted you to see me like this" on his part.
I was initially confused about your comment - and then remembered you're Canadian. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope this next week goes well for you. :)
Oh poor Beauty - you have no idea what you're in for. Then again, neither do we. I keep changing my mind about what I think she's seeing. Right now I'm betting the maze has taken over the entire gardens and she realizes she's cut off. That's my guess.
"There's probably no reason to worry," she says, even though the castle looks even more abandoned and unfriendly than usual. And even though the Beast was acting a little weird the last time they talked. You know something is up, dear. Go forth and check the grounds!
