His lips quivered in anticipation, and then in enjoyment.  Feelings of love and emotion coursed through his body; the air became charged with magical healing elements.  He did not want the kiss to stop; but he realized his transformation had come to an end.  He was slowly changing back; he could feel the slight electrical impulses inside signaling an end to this heavenly interlude.<br/><br/>That is when Penelope realized something; she had normally been a witness to how the curse became permanent.  Every night, the change grew worse until there never was a transformation back into a human again.  This time, she saw, for the first time, what seemed to be a reversal.  Flynn's ugly red skin did indeed return; but no scales.  His grotesque face appeared to form back, but then stop.  Certain elements of his human side were being accentuated.<br/><br/>Could the curse be in the stages of being broken?  She was not sure if she should tell Screwtape or not; no matter.  A few more minutes, she would finish the sketch of his human face and deliver the goods to her master.  Then, she and her baby would be safe for the rest of their lives.  And damn Screwtape if he didn't deliver on this promise!<br/><br/>Before closing the small sketchbook, she looked into Amora's eyes.  She saw happiness for the first time, even laying in that creature's arms.
