Monstrous - Chapter 32
There's this trope, very common in the romance genre, called "the Miss." I don't know if it's the real name or just what my mom calls it, but it's short for "misunderstanding." It's the trope where the two characters have a major, plot-defining misunderstanding that stretches for multiple chapters--if not the whole book--but would've taken a single five-minute conversation to clear up.
In case it wasn't obvious, I hate this trope so much, and I refuse to write it in any way.

Love that they actually talk it out like sane people 😆 one quibble - you said his wings are rose gold rather than white here.
Also HATE this trope. So glad to see conversation resolving conflict.
I also despise "the miss" as a trope. JUST TAKK TO EACH OTHER!! Thanks for clearing it up so promptly
I am so glad a version of the lamp scene made it in. My first exposure to the story of Eros and Psyche was a children's book called "The Arrow and the Lamp". I still have it on my shelf today
It is such a relief to have the misunderstanding resolved within a reasonable timeframe.
