Chapter 7: Changed for the Better
"Miss Glinda?" Boq said quietly.
Glinda slowly lifted her gaze up towards Boq. Instead of seeing a shiny person made of tin, she saw a handsome man who was again a human. "Oh my Oz," Glinda said, while soft tears filled her eyes.
Boq walked over to her and raised his thumb to her cheeks. He gently wiped away her tears. "I could never do this if I was still tin."
"Boq, I-I, I mean I didn't know," she stuttered while making strange gestures with her hands. She still couldn't believe the spell worked. Elphie really had helped her, Glinda was sure of it.
"Miss Glinda, there are no need for words during a moment like this. Actions can speak for themselves. It's pretty obvious you're speechless anyway," he interrupted while smiling at her. His hand was still resting on her cheek, and it almost seemed as if it was protecting her eyes from any more tears.
She glanced at Boq's face and then brought her own hand up so it covered his. She closed her eyes and her lips turned into a smile. She whispered, "I think you're right."
