So sweet. We didn't get to see the tension build up as much between the two characters since they had known each other for a while before the story began, but that also gave it a sense of believability that I didn't mind at all. I LOVED the bits about Peyton's disability and how it affected her, especially how Joshua treated her - being unafraid to touch her stump, not treating her as a fragile thing, understanding her fears without pitying or trying to coddle her.
