I was thinking about Swanfire and something I realize about the relationship. Emma and Neal scenes are the meat and potatoes (aka Beef Stew). Their scenes are hard, pack full of emotion, sticks to he bones, savory, full nutrients, taste good, comfort soul food, and will keep you full far longer. Hook and Emma get the cotton candy fluff, its full of that typical simple romantic flair its sweet, sticky, colorful, melts in your mouth, gets harden if left out in the air, but its purely for taste and not meant to be a main course or to take the place of a meal. Its a treat that you snack on before you go off to seek food (the meat and potatoes) that would actually appease your appetite. I will actually go on to say that Swanfire is a five course meal served with fine wine. I know its hard lovies but keep eating because eventually we will get to that desert and coffee.
I love this analogy. It’s my favorite one so far.
