What to Expect
- → Expect a lot of almost-kissing and plausible deniability
- → The performance of being in a relationship forces honesty they wouldn't otherwise have
- → Usually includes a moment where the pretense stops being pretend and they don't acknowledge it
- → Light in tone compared to enemies-to-lovers — the conflict is mostly internal
- → Often funny; the miscommunication is usually accidental rather than cruel
