“And it feels like a miracle, finding such a dear part of oneself walking around in someone else’s body.” Note: I am perfectly content for Emma to enjoy her youth and figure herself out without needing to settle down,

BUT THIS.!!

I’m convinced whether she knows it or not, Hawkes is the best choice. She has flirting chemistry with both Pierce and Islington (and Roland, at times?), but I so enjoy how Hawkes just lets her be— no criticism, no complaints. Even when she’s clearly lost or struggling, he quietly encourages her and helps her in such a discreet way, you almost forget it was him in the first place.

And the line above! She loves words so dearly and where does she find that part of her heart?? With Hawkes 🥰
