Y'all.... i'm FEELLLLING feels. lol. I have rekindled my passion for this story~ And what I love about Elle is that she defies stereotypical expectations of black women. We are painted to be strong all the time, hard, cold and mean. But Elle breaks those views. She's sensitive. She's afraid. She is vulnerable. This does not mean she is no less confident in herself and what she does. But when it comes to Takahiro, the woman falls apart. I LOVE that. He is such a good man for her y'all. Like... he's the reason, stability and gentleness her heart needs after all the bad relationships and suffering she had to endure. *sigh happily* He's so intense and his feelings are so strong for her. I love that he isn't afraid to tell her exactly what is on his mind and he's so understanding of her. They love each other so hard. UGHHHHH FEELLLLS.
