ok back to squee more now that I read it again. firstly, I love nile. Thanks so much for writing her like that. I love that line about young love being the same with girls, but they're warned more against showing it. also joe's reaction, like ?? lmao <3

my heart wrenched for joe when he was explaining his and nicky's relationship to nile. I will say, my brain leaned toward Joe being the Prince, but wanted to leave it up to the writer, and I LOVE THIS.

Also, they're not even subtle now ahhhhh. again so much love. don't know if you have an ao3, but I'd love to bookmark if so!
