dassiustang initial dynamic would be so funny.
because virginia would be like: i understand this man is really important to you. i love that he makes you happy. i can tolerate having him around. but i am not going to love him. i love you.
then she probably sees him with pax.
virginia: okay. maybe he's good with kids. so what
then she sees cassius call darrow out for something. perhaps even related to pax … because darrow really wants to be a good dad.
but sometimes he gets stuck.
virginia: okay. maybe he doesn't indulge darrow. he actually challenges him. and coming from me? darrow resists it a bit. because i am directly involved … cassius sees it from the outside. he is more explicit with it
virginia: … so … what …
cassius: you can admit i am not so bad
virginia: no (secretly loves him).
because again. virginia grounds darrow. cassius doesn't. darrow sees limits. virginia sees darrow's trauma. cassius tells him to stop making excuses and put in the work.
