I have loved this story for so long and adore the characters and the way they are written. It is so against the grain.
But... The "we met in the past" trope is making me sick of reading these days. It seems like everyone has a grudge or a lapse in memory or some fleeting moment where they crossed paths and it defined their lives. I miss stories where the characters are actually meeting the first time and it's legit.
it really is so common huh. annoys the hell outta me too. at least it actually has plot relevance and heightens the stakes in this story though. istg some authors just shoe horn it in for funsies
