Okay but can we give my girl around of applause for standing on business??? And wdym he loved you for twenty years?
Have we been reading the same? She's just noticed it, probably because now she's in the same position. But it's been clear since the beginning that he's always loved her and she developed feelings after they fked... The difference is, she owned up to them, and he's a coward. Even if I understand him.
Honestly I think the FMC is mature because she understand that there’s a possibility those actions were out of platonic interest instead of romantic… it just made her see the ML caring characteristics and she knows that he is being a coward but knows it’ll be worth the wait. I think the ML just has to trust himself with her. It’s clear there was feeing before they hooked up.
