ok, this one was super cute and quirky. Cole is a carpenter and I can basically smell the sawdust on him and feel the roughness of his hands. Sloane is sassy and blocked off but can't resist the look Cole sends her way. I love that he straight up stops at the moment she hesitates but stays present with her. Brandon is a tool!
