Like. He is ready for this con to be OVER. He likes this girl but he was in it for the money and he knows that’s the one question he forgot to give her an answer to, because no one knows what he did that night.
The absolute wonder in his face as he realizes the girl he saved has been right in front of him; it’s no longer a con. The money isn’t even in his mind. He’s gone his whole life assuming she’s dead or long gone, that he failed.
But here she is, and in this moment he’s so shocked and awed, and it’s such a beautiful moment.
Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours. Tonight we begin again. Red (my version) is out now.
