Violet (thinking): Something still feels off about this situation, and I can’t put my finger on what. Maybe I should ask Rowan for advice? He’s got way more experience with this kind of weird.
Or maybe it’s none of my business, and I should drop it. Hopefully Rowan will have a problem of his own to distract me — the kind of problem I actually understand how to fix.
Rowan: Violet!
You know that romance trope, where a character starts getting hot for random mundane physical features of their love interest, even if it wasn’t something they were into before?
Violet: Yeah?
Rowan: It’s REAL!
Violet (thinking): We make such a good team.

Oh no you don’t Violet, there’s no skating out of this.
Sometimes you just want to put a check in the win column for someone else before you start working on your own.
I mean…it is none of her business. No doubt it’ll still come out eventually in either a hilarious or horribly embarrassing fashion, but it really doesn’t seem like something the team has to know.
I mean about her trying to skate away from confronting her Tamaputian in the room.
…that’s what I thought I was referring to. Is there any reason she should be trying to figure out anything about her coworker that her coworker hasn’t yet told her?
Sometimes I really love Rowan. 🙂
“starts getting hot for random mundane physical features of their love interest, even if it wasn’t something they were into before?”
I thought of it as double standards.
If a co worker is so tired that they are not getting any work done and just zoning out- I would feel contempt.
If it’s someone I love then the slow blink sleepy face is adorable. (cats included)
I saw the trope, thought it was true- but just interpreted it differently.
Mom told me that her boyfriend read their pet chickens to sleep. I don’t love my mom’s boyfriend- so I thought it was childish and stupid. But if it was my little brother, then it’s compassionate and adorable.
