You know, I think that this is something that could happen irl too more often, if people would be more open-minded (or just more lucky, that helps too 😅).
Sure, it’s not easy to immediately trust what’s basically a stranger, a person met only a few times...but I’m pretty sure that out there is full of cozy and wonderful people (like our two protagonists) that could have a wonderful life as a couple, and they are just inexperienced with love.
