She reached up then to lay her hand on the unicorn's cheek; but both of them flinched a little, and the touch came to rest on the swift, shivering place under the jaw. Molly said, "It's all right. I forgive you."
"Unicorns are not to be forgiven." The magician felt himself growing giddy with jealousy, not only of the touch but of something like a secret that was moving between Molly and the unicorn. "Unicorns are for beginnings," he said, "for innocence and purity, for newness. Unicorns are for young girls."
Molly was stroking the unicorn's throat as timidly as though she were blind. She dried her grimy tears on the white mane. "You don't know much about unicorns," she said.

I love that part of the story. The unicorn has great emotion in her face and movement in her legs, and I like your interpretation of Molly's look. Also, great background. (I'm jealous. I'm bad at backgrounds.) Nice movement in Molly, too, though her arm is a little long.

Oh wow this is lovely!! The unicorn is adorable, I love its long neck and big eyes, and background is just astounding! And I love the little story that goes with it, it's very meaningful. Is this from a book?

Thank you! I spent a lot of time on this one. Yes, it's from The Last Unicorn - if you haven't seen the movie or read the book you should do both, I highly recommend it
