Rumple will definitely not be an easy man to love but Belle’s strength is her capacity TO love…and forgive. Great “opposites attract” balance but also great potential for some drama.
Perhaps the support Rumple might need in avoiding the (very) cold shoulder from the Ice Queen will bring out the fierceness in Belle. She is overdo for some decent story lines.
It will be an interesting first year for the Newlyweds! (But I am glad there is still some darkness in the Dark One.)
