I loved the idea of these friends becoming more.  They make sure a great duo that you know a relationship between the two of them would just be awesome.  Unfortunately both have some hangups that are keeping them from pursuing anything more.  

It's totally understandable why Kaylee doesn't want to risk her most important friendship for the chance of a romance.  She needs Bennett so much that losing him would be devastating ... but her heart wants more and it is not going to be ignored.  

Thanks to Bennett's childhood he has a huge need to plan.  A romance of deep emotion doesn't really fit well with that.  He's holding tight to his control but life does enjoy throwing people curve balls.  

And seeing Bennett develop a connection to his son is the absolute best.  Kaylee's there for both of them, with a special connection with Dallas, but in the end the guys have to be the ones making it work.  They both are so heartfelt and blunt, but hesitant too.  They handle things their way - with humor and truth, laying it out but still being protective of themselves.  

The connection & long-standing friendship between Kaylee & Bennett is just so heartwarming and their struggle over where the future might take them is very real.  Some might find the push/pull of their emotions a little repetitive - it's hard to let go and take a leap for something more when what you have is so very, very important to you.  But what if it could bring you something so much more ...?  It's a tough decision but you are going to enjoy being with them while they figure things out.
