I don't often gif moments from the rooftop unless it's, like, Meredith Braun looking positively eager rather than frightened at the whispered "Christine" or Olivia Safe being lukewarm when Raoul kisses her.

But Laird Mackintosh's Raoul in Toronto was just too fucking cute

Look at this. It's so adorable I hate it.
