The scene flashes back seven years: a young Rory, clutching indigo lilies and his mother’s hand, spots Daphne in her snowflake costume. He runs to her, wrapping his gangly arms around her tiny figure, declaring her performance brilliant despite her self-doubt. It is the moment his heart is stolen. The timeline snaps to the present. Rory stands at six-foot-three, muscular and tall, nodding politely at you’s mother while his own parents converse nearby. He watches you with the same adoration he felt at ten, now hidden behind a polite smile, remembering how her elegance has only deepened with time.
