Hmm, I can't say I particularly like or dislike Joy. I do however, feel that she comes off as contradictory and hypocritical, which is realistic def, but Max is literally fighting for his life to maintain the boundaries she set and she decides to cross them so easily towards him? The way it feels is as if she's purposely doing little and I do mean little flirty acts here and there bc of all the teasing, the saying it's a secret, leaning in and giggling, not that a person can't act like that normally while being nice.

However it feels like she was kinda leading him on in her behavior so it makes sense he fell for her. And of course since Mac is a young, handsome and respectful man, she of course is starting to like him bc he chooses not to be pushy. He chooses to respect the boundaries she asked for. He chooses to be understanding.

And he works to at least try to match her pace. How couldn't she not like him? I also feel like she's a bit nosy and to me, that's a tell tale sign of someone who is starting to like you. She asks him things and then when he tries to reciprocate, she usually gives a cute roundabout answer, that isn't to say that she doesn't answer straight forwardly sometimes, but usually she doesn't give Max an answer right away. It just feels very cat and mouse.

And don't get me wrong, I totally understand some ppl have naturally flirty personalities and pair that with an extrovert, a pretty face and smile, and someone's who's nice? It makes sense she's faced some issues in the past with guys misunderstanding her.

Anyway, I say all this just to say I know it won't happen, but I like Max with Esther. That's all.
