Comment: When 'previewing' parts of the book to my tutors, I hid this picture, as I *knew* they'd hate it (one of them especially, as he detests Phantom of the Opera. But come the final talk, they liked. This is just past the halfway part of the book, thought it best to insert a classic musical. I wanted it to look like she was kinda floating towards him, but resisting, and he's drawing her in without being aggressive. Was meant to draw in her eye (whoops), but am told it works without it, like her eyes have glassed over, is in a trance......waffle like that ;)
