So, now, we've got two viewpoint characters

First he tries to catch her because he's nominal law enforcement. Then she saves his life from the big bad, and they're forced to work together, and we find out that they're fragile/strong in all the same ways for similar reasons. So I thought they'd get together, right?

But no, she ends up with some other woman. It's just "Hey, when this is all over, you wanna get a drink? I really like you" and she does. And they kiss. No weird misunderstandings, no drama over their different life circumstances, no mutual unrequited longing - none of it! What the hell kind of fictional relationship even is this!?

I feel completely off-balance. I'm not sure I ever expected healthy relationships from fiction and I'm not sure I like it either.
