Kate and Harrec = lighthearted and silly sweetness.

These two were super cute.
Kate- working through her own self-esteem issues with her height. (She is the tallest human there; almost as tall as the Sa-khui women).
Harrec- a total goofball and instantly smitten but doesn’t quite know how to get Kate to accept his flirtations.
A little misunderstanding but they eventually get there (just needed one convoluted plan and some immanent danger to grease the wheels.) 😊

I enjoyed how they fell in love and agreed to be pleasure mates first before resonance. Their cute little plan to run away together was so sweet.

I do appreciate these lighthearted additions to the story- this one literally was so sweet. Rivalries, antics, silly flirtation, and kittens 😊 (But overall, I need more. Give me DRAMA – give me ANGST lol)

TWs: pretty vivid descriptions of injuries
