On one hand I understand people who say Lyra and Grayson felt rushed but on the other hand I find it really funny bc Jameson and Avery made out like halfway through TIG and Avery almost kissed Gray at the end of it too yk, and at least Grayson had like a whole year and a half to hyper fixate on the memory of Lyras “silky husky” voice and the effects it had on him and the way she called him and asshole and “barred her soul” to him over 3 phone calls that and Lyra at least already had a sort off crush or hyper fixation on Grayson over the clip she saw of him kissing Avery on national television 😭💀
sooooo…..am I saying they didn’t fall for each other really fast, no. They fell fast and HARD. Do I wish it was a slower burn….yes, at least from Lyra’s side. There was never any hope for Grayson Hawthorne to not fall in love INSTANTLY once he saw her, and actually I fear he already started to fall by the time the first phone call ended. Or maybe not fall but he definitely started to stumble and trip from the first time he heard her voice.
But my point is, Grayson was going to fall hard ALWAYS, he never stood a chance at not falling HARD for Lyra Catalina Kane. And for Lyra, she despite what she’s been through and despite how she feels broken, she is the type of character who trusts and values family and truth. And once Grayson showed her how much he really did care, showed her he really wanted to help her discover what happened, and how he understood her and saw through the act of “fine” she was also always going to be a goner, and honestly i think if she had held out longer I think everyone would be complaining about how “stubborn/annoyingly blind/dense” she is for not giving in yet.
So yeah, was it fast? Yes. Does it make sense why it’s fast? Also yes. They could only be a slow burn if they were different people, but honestly I really like where their characters are at. So I can’t complain.
