Though I don’t say much about it these days, HPL continues to be my happy pill.
I love the relationship between Ryan and DM, from the pettiest to the most swoon-worthy.
The pacing has been very good so far. Hope they keep the momentum going until the very end.
My favorite bit this week was DM getting mad at him for going through stuff all alone instead of sharing it. That I’m-so-worried-that-it-shows-as-anger felt extra real somehow. Their gallery sleepover was cute as well.

Despite complaining about the knew-each-other-as-children troupe in the past, I’ve decided that here it’s not that bad. It reminds me of Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind in some way: “even if we forgot each other once, because I am who I am, and you are who you are we are bound to still be drawn to each other “, character as destiny of sorts. Because DM and Ryan are who they are, they belong together. And that’s that.

PS: walking back home this evening I saw a bunch of kids making huge soap balloons in the park.
Thought of HPL and that made me happy.

    Mine too – happy pill, I mean. I am enjoying the total lack of histrionics in Ryan and DM’s relationship. I am happy to watch the BE a couple. Learning the ropes so to speak – what each other wants and needs and fulfilling them as and when necessary. I enjoy the fact that they are learning to trust each other implicitly, rely on, give support, encourage, be sensitive to each other and not react selfishly — and the list goes on. I hope with all this build on the relationship – that it will continue to withstand whatever reveal that is about to come with regard DM’s Mom.
