I'll Be Your Mirror is a brief episode tag for the 1/3/2012 Elizabeth and Ewen scenes.
I had to extrapolate from rumors/spoilers/thin air/wishful thinking to write this, please forgive me if it turns into a total fanwank.
Ewen curses the phone call that takes him away from Elizabeth. It wasn't supposed to be this way, he wasn't supposed to get attached. He just can't help it, she makes him smile. He wants to be a "hand in [her] darkness" bringing her to the light.
She looked so fragile the first time he saw her. He had finished his visit with Cassandra and decided to walk along the beach before returning to Port Charles. He loves the sound of the ocean, especially at night. A boat, not far from shore, drew his attention. He heard a splash and thought nothing of it at first. Oh he was curious enough to want to look closer, he may not have been in Port Charles for long but he already knew that strange things can occur on Spoon Island.
His years as a life guard came back to him quickly when he got close enough to see what appeared to be a body. Without thought for the cold he ripped of his coat, kicked off his shoes and dove into the cold sea. She was so tiny and fragile in his arms. He got her breathing and couldn't resist touching her porcelain skin. He goes to get her a warm blanket and returns to find that someone else had found her. He watches to assure himself that she's safe. The stranger said he's taking her to the hospital, reluctantly Ewen returned to Cassandra.
Over the next couple of weeks he can't help thinking about the woman he rescued. He sets up privileges at General Hospital and learns her name, Elizabeth Webber. A name that means she can be nothing to him, at least not now. Not while he has to, well that isn't important at the moment, he thinks to himself.
Ewen gets into his car, to go look for the missing Cassandra, an entanglement, he doesn't want right now but one that he's stuck with. He knows that he got through to Elizabeth this evening. That in the reflection of light from dingy acoustic tiles she saw her own strength. That strength surprised him, he has to admit. Seeing her at Shadybrook and listening to her conversations with Matt was very revealing. He laughs remembering the look on her face when he caught her trying to take a peak at his painting. "What a woman," he thinks in admiration.
Elizabeth is a woman who doesn't give up easily. He likes that about her. He hopes that he showed her that she was blind. If she could see what he sees, the beauty that she is, she would never have to be sad again.
He sees her.
"I'll Be Your Mirror" is a song by The Velvet Underground and Nico
Lyrics
I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty that you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I'll be your mirror
