I genuinely cried so hard during this scene 🥹
After everything he's been through, this felt like the first time I gotta see a truly happy, carefree smile from him. The way he smiled & laughed like a huge weight had finally been lifted off his shoulders completely shattered me 🥹
This brings me to tears. 🥹
Caleb must have spent days searching every corner of the house, expecting one of his little sister's surprises.. or maybe another one of her playful pranks waiting for him.
She's hid it on a runway, because only the best is due for big brother 🥹
Actually obsessed with how the narrative keeps avoiding pet names and always circles back to "partner" because that's genuinely what Xavier and MC are on every level😭
Not just coworkers or mission partners, but two people who share every part of life side by side. The romance is there, but it's rooted in something even deeper: mutual trust, mutual choice, and the way they consistently see each other as equals🫶🏻
his cheeks are a bit fuller, his dark circles a bit lighter, his expression is a bit softer ... the difference just one year reunited with his most precious person can make 🥹
She is in his arms, her hand on his chest and the exact second she looks up, Caleb's eyes instantly lock onto hers... It's like he refuses to miss a single moment of her gaze and will look at her forever. He is such a hopeless romantic.
