I’ve concocted this scene in my head where Belle asks Neal what’s wrong and he tells her what Snowing said. Then Belle tells him to look into his heart and he’ll know what to do, and how once you find someone worth fighting for, you never give up. And in that moment, he’s gonna have his personal conviction restored, and also realise just how much Belle truly loves and believes in his father. And then I’ll collapse into a sobbing heap on the floor.
