🥺 The way Bea tries to back Ava away from Lilith as she approaches because she is unsure of her intentions. And the silent plea in her eyes asking Lilith to not take Ava away from her 😭
And then to top it off, the sigh Lilith exhales and the regret on her face as she witnesses Bea’s heart breaking in front of her as she holds a dying Ava in her arms.
We’ve reblogged the eff out of the first one and for damn good reason. But like. Ava in the second gif??? I have been losing my MIND over this.
There’s just so much wrapped up in one look, in one word — “Bea.”
We can’t even hear her say it, but we don’t need to. There’s a whole goddamn universe of emotion held in that split second on her face because she’s just so taken by a carefree Beatrice.
“Bea.”
It’s a realization. A confession. A question. A plea. A statement of fact. It’s reaching a hand out into the dark. It’s wonder. It’s teasing. It’s “look at you. Look at you. You silly, beautiful thing. I see you. Do you see me, too?” It’s longing. It’s unfiltered affection. It’s a hello. It’s “of all the people in the world, you chose to share this side of you with me.” It’s gratitude. It’s “whaddya say about you and me?” and it’s “I can’t believe one person can make me feel this much, this alive.” It’s the tide, staring at the moon, awestruck and helpless against its gravitational force.
