I wasn't sure how to feel about LaRynn and Deacon's story. They were so at odds, it was uncomfortable for the first quarter or so of the story. But as the layers of each character were peeled back, their reactions made sense, and their interactions felt earned. I loved that they were never perfect, but eventually recognized the patterns they were lapsing into. I believed in their story by the end, and that's really all I can ask from something like this.
