I don't disagree that it was only on the cheek, but if those are the first two given to a non-parental/sibling male, that's still huge.The kisses weren't really making out... kisses on the cheeks... it's arguable.
But when she layed on top of him... that was teasing a guy a little too far and she must've known that...
I look forward to taking her on a (promised) bike ride, preferably right after John comes to picks up Emily at the restaurant... Catch her when she's at the lowest, right when she figures out "it's never gonna happen"![]()
For the most part, I just chalk her actions up to being BFF 'friendzoned' which is where MC will fit in. Same reason she doesn't care if he's around when she changes. Or cuddling on the couch. If she just sees MC as a best friend, then the actions may not be romantic/sexual to her, and no different then how she'd behave around her female friends.
The walls may break down over time and she realizes there might be something there, which would add it's own unique storytelling elements.
Most of the reason my John saves have lagged behind is just because I haven't gotten the heart to consider doing something that dirty to her like that yet.
