Principles of Magic

TRANSCRIPT:

Aurelie: We couldn’t marry because you were ashamed of me. That’s not my fault.

Hyacinth touches her cheek and turns her head to face him.

Hyacinth: I love you, Aurelie. I always have. But you don’t know anything about the world.

He gets up and crosses back to the door.

Hyacinth: If you still have magic at the age of thirty-five, it’s your own damn fault.

He leaves, slamming the door hard.

Aurelie is alone again. Maybe she always will be.
