“Juliatinas intimacy isn’t weird or hesitant even as new friends”
Yes! That’s what stood out to me from the start, the moment on the park bench? At first I was like, well, this is kinda awkward but cute, and then Juls cracked that joke and they were instantly so comfortable? Walking along, holding hands, cuddling, even before the rise of the Feelings, they were so open. It was so lovely to see.
I’m going to sound like a total nutter now, even current me is side-eyeing past me, but when I was first catching up, I literally remember saying to a friend, this friendship is so rare in how well done it is, I almost don’t want a romance to come along and ruin it. Hah. Can you imagine!
