Quality has dropped off, their banter feels weird and forced here, and the deep hug earlier felt odd pacing wise too. Alexander seems out of character here, morphing into a more generic romcom hero.
Ugh, hate this. It’s giving Alice Cullen. Unrealistic, everything we’ve learned about Gracie so far would imply she wouldn’t be so open with this sort of ‘bickering’ and would be more nervous. This just feels like cringey fluff
This whole exchange is cringe. Why are they reminiscing so weirdly? In front of these people? And why did she lay down? Lmao this is so weird, such a tonal shift.
