Well you are assuming her heart there, we don’t know the nature of her so we cannot define it, even that book could be seen to prompt him to making a move which could be emphasized by the fact she is the author
That’s the thing love is different and in fact it’s a relationship he choose himself and stretched to get for himself Frankly that stuff would disappear , if anything it’s more he would likely be too clingy like how he was with a certain other person with glasses. You are forgetting she witnessed him being bullied so she is already aware and frankly hope can get you through thoose things
If anything the debt his father left is the main problem, that said he probably overcome it because he would have something worth fighting for
Not really honestly he seems like the type to just place the jar down then go forward with her to replace the bad moments with memories with her, I admit the clingyness will be real though
I can too but it’s not the reason you are thinking why he turned her down ......the shortest way to put it is.....She dosen’t seem real so he dosen’t want the answer
