But as she gasped at the sight of the vaulted ceilings painted with scenes from an ancient tale, tapestries that stretched across three walls showing tales of heroes long dead, as luck would have it, I became thoroughly distracted by the way her open curiosity made me think…
It was amazing, cause we’ve known each other now… 5 years? And people were like, ‘What did you do to build a chemistry?’

and pen screams back, “I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR YEARS! I have been her—I HAVE STOOD HERE DAY AND NIGHT LOVING YOU EVEN WHEN I COULDN’T!”
she steps closer all fire in her eyes as she stares up at him, “NOW? When I have a perfectly fine, respectable, and HONORABLE gentleman? NOW?”
you can see that his hands were fidgeting here too. pen gave him a chance to say what he wanted but he was literally frozen in place. her sigh before she accepted debling’s dance…
i don’t know what’s crazier: the fact that they know about the finger discourse or the fact that he’s confirming it and she’s in shock about the intricate details he added
i adjusted the lighting and coloring for visual purposes and muted the bgm as you can hear possible adlibs! (since it’s not the og shot, take it with a grain of salt 🙇🏻♀️)
use headphones! it’ll do wonders!
Luke: “I enjoyed a lot of the family scenes this year, the shift in dynamic. My character’s come back as a different person. He has that moment where he’s sizing himself up with his siblings now and there’s a different dynamic between all of them.” (1/2)
Nicola: “We have the most incredible dance choreographer called Jack Murphy, he’s been on the show since s1. […] Luke & I, we both have a shared work ethic so we’d do it in between takes. They put the cameras down, we’d go have a little dance in the corner, come back & do it.”
“He leaned forward and kissed her, slowly, reverently, no longer quite so surprised that this was happening, that he wanted her so badly.”
“The shock was gone, replaced by a simple, primitive need to claim her, to brand her, to mark her as his.”

Nicola: “It was heaven. Honestly, Luke is the greatest guy and we’ve known this was coming for a long time. It was terrifying to do it, but I’m just thrilled.
And having seen it now, I’m even more proud than I ever thought I could be.”

adjusted the lightings and colorings as requested! i’ll try isolating the vocals when i come back to it.
wear your headphones. enjoy!
this scene hurts a lot more when you realize that they’re both hurting AND dawning masks to hide a part of themselves. colin falls back and hides to the attitude & charm he sees reciprocated in their society, but lacks the input that it never mattered with her to begin with.
and then penelope stops replying to his letters during his recent trip. he must’ve thought there was something wrong with him, that he’s the one who’s not functioning right. he felt the need to change as his usual self wasn’t what he saw in society and not everyone wanted it.
Nicola: “It’s a really romantic one. It’s very sexy. It’s very funny. It’s got a lot of suspense in it, no two episodes are the same.
We’re not gonna give you a moment’s rest in this season.”
