watching him leave vs. watching him return

she wears that necklace when she goes to the masquerade, the day that sent her life on a completely different trajectory. it's the necklace that allows benedict to recognise her and realise that, actually, he's always loved her, even when he didn't know who she was. she also chooses to wear that necklace on her wedding day, presumably when she could've chosen anything else (I feel like violet would've let sophie have any piece of jewellery for her wedding).

I really love that a major part of their story revolves around Benedict moving on from the seemingly perfect, peppy dream girl (aka The Lady in Silver) of his fantasies to the more serious, anxious, secretive, guarded and complicated Sophie whom he falls in love with in reality. The fact that Sophie WAS The Lady in Silver is just more amusing because only Benedict could get entangled in a love triangle with two entities who turn out to be the same person (it still makes me laugh!) but also interesting because it proved to Sophie that she CAN be someone who allows herself to experience joy and take risks and proactively change her life, none of which she had been doing.

Sometimes it is easier to stay in shallow water. Warmer. More pleasant. I like warm and pleasant. / It is dull to swim in the same waters day after day, even if they are warm and pleasant. Will you not wade out deeper with me?
