Clearly we definitely have had some sort of mind-meld because that's EXACTLY what I was thinking. I just can't get over how careful and cautious and self-conscious Norrell would be at first and how he'd slowly forget about that and let go as it went on. And Arabella would be so patient with him and, also, take things exactly where she wanted to go, guh. I am so sorry.

also for your possible consideration: at some point while they're kissing he does something that she realizes he must have picked up from Strange and she's forcefully reminded of the fact that they've been doing this too and she hadn't really considered it in detail thus far but damn is she into that mental image. Okay, I'll stop now.

(am I working towards an eventual threesome, in my head? MAYBE.)
