He had the whole thing worked out. Her heart was spoken for, it was obviously the prince, and his job was to stand beside her being quietly devastated about it forever. Nobody asked her. She has apparently been waiting a while for him to stop guessing.
Second lead syndrome except he gave it to himself. He was never in a triangle, he built one so he'd have a reason to keep his distance, and she got tired of waiting for him to do the math.
Exactly. The prince was never competition, he was an excuse. Much easier to lose to a man with a title than to find out she actually wants you.
8And she clocked it ages ago. That is not the grin of someone who decided any of this today.
15Right, she isn't confessing so much as correcting him.
17Correcting him with her entire hand on his face, respectfully.
10The hand on his jaw. She isn't asking him anything, she's showing him where to look.
And his hand is still hovering instead of actually landing on her. Man is buffering.
2buffering is the word. eyes wide open the entire time too
9She gave him a warning and a demonstration in the same breath 😭
Honestly the warning was a formality, she had already decided.
14Somewhere out there the 8th prince is having a perfectly normal day with no idea he was the villain of one man's imagination.
What gets me is that she made it his choice. Stay or don't, but staying means this, and then she left him standing in it. That is a much scarier thing to hand someone than a confession.
Not him losing a love triangle he invented.
Undefeated in a matchup that was never scheduled.
