I will say when Belle called his name, he seemed tentative and uncertain as to what she might say or do as he turned around. I think when she said she loved him he seemed relieved and able to let his guard down enough to return an I love you he had been longing to say for many years.
I loved that scene! Mr. Gold didn’t know what to expect when Belle told him that she remembered. Remembered what? That he yelled, went mad, locked her in the dungeon, accused her and then sent her away? Because if she remembered that (and of course she did), he was lost. And I can see that in his face: “What do you remember?”
Instead she just said those 3 words: “I love you!” She remembers all, but she chooses to love him above everything else. I think they need to have a serious conversation about what happened before. But to start with, Belle wanted to make sure to him that no matter what had happened before, she still loves him. She still believes in him. And there will be time for everything else.
I love that scene!
And you know what else I love? When Mr. Gold first sees her, during the whole scene he never blinks. I think he thought if he closed his eyes, even if only for a split second, she might disappear. I found it so sweet and meaningful.
Anyway, I’m new around here. I’m a rumbelle fan and I’ve been reading and loving this thread. Have a nice day everyone! 😀
