I love being made to feel with and for Henry, and this accomplished exactly that before I'd even realised I was!
This in particular caught at me:
He remembered Richard's words to him, years ago: for God's love and mine.
It was unbearable to think that at one blow he had lost the hope of both.
Yes. I love that moment of doubt and fear, even after everything that's been so carefully put in place, the way no mirror can even reflect truly, even one that shows Richard's words.
