RIP my heart, the hug was just . And honestly, I know his parents are trash, but to be reminded how trashy they are is just kjsnajsna. My heart hurts for Ibelina, too—sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Also, Alejandro putting the moves on Ibelina at this age has me laughing . Like, boy, who taught you to say these things??? I will say he knows how to treat her really well for his age, though—just imagine what a good husband he'd make when he's older. But for now, maybe save those lines when you're a tad bit older, baby boi.
If I'm remembering correctly. Al is 14 and Ibe should be 16-18 so they're not that far apart in age. The curse stunts his growth so he looks 10, but he's at most 4 years younger than her, so of course he's putting the moves on.
it's affection, isn't it? the healing is genuine affection that comes from people who genuinely love him.
i think his curse got worse because of that short episode where he lashed out and pushed away the only person who cared about him. but she stayed with him all night and he got better again!
