"My darling. My love. It's all right."

This artwork is so beautiful, and it sent me back to writing this scene and how worried I was that it wouldn’t land and make sense. I’m still not sure about one line:

I hope it’s clear that Simon was at first kissing Baz in a passionate way, in a wanting way. But at some point, he got overwhelmed and started clinging to Baz, panicking. And Baz isn’t sure when that change happened. Baz feels so confused and guilty. Was he so caught up in his own desire that he missed Simon’s distress?

“The wind has changed.” I’m still not sure that phrase does enough to make it clear what’s happened, given the chaos of the moment.

@artsyunderstudy, your work is so lovely and evocative — you make me homesick for my own characters. 💛
