I squealed over these moments too. From her always struggling to match her strides to his, he’s now trying to match his to hers, to be her equal.
And yet a part of me also thought: But if he truly wants to be seen as her equal, she’ll have to truly quit her job as his secretary. Because as long as they continue to have this boss-employee relationship, their power dynamics will always be uneven.
Wouldn’t that be such a turning point? For him to come to the realization that if he truly wants her to be by his side in the long-term, he must first lose her? So we would get a reversal: from her wanting to quit, to him needing her to quit — in order for them to be together romantically. I look forward to that scene of him agonizing over such a decision.
