Subject: Bethie completes her journey to having a real family in that scene also. OMG! I cried so hard! I know I must seem very silly to you all, but to me Nicholas' getting on his knees was such a noble gesture. I loved having the entire family there for just a scene, though I wish I'd been able to include Bríghid more. And I loved Emma Rose's debut. I loved how Alec treats her, how besotted he is with his late-life child. Anyway, I could go on forever. This is how I thought of the scene, at least.
In reply to: PC 's message, "For Nicholas, this story is really about coming home. He's able to do that through the healing love of one woman. But at the beginning he felt he had no choice but to leave. His decision to leave was actually a passive form of committing suicide. A part of him really wanted to die. Bethie brings him back to life, enabling him to come home. As he comes back to himself, he realizes just what his leaving must have done to those he loves and his going down on his knees is his sincere, deep apology to his mother. That scene was in my mind from the moment I typed the first words on the page, and I didn't let myself write it until I reached it because I wanted all of the emotional power to be right there in that moment when he drops to his knees and his mother takes him in her arms and forgives him. In some ways, it's my favorite scene in the story because everything one needs to know about Nicholas is in that scene. And Cassie has the wonderful role of welcoming Bethie.
