Roderic doesn't really view people as people. He only thinks in what's logical and everything works together like a machine. If anything, Roderic thinks of her more as a pet that he must protect, at this point. I can't entirely get a feel for him because he remembers little things about her like her not wanting coffee or her hobbies. He actually read all of her letters and paying attention by giving thoughtful gifts. How are they going to do him dirty by giving him bg character 32 face the second panel we see his face in?? I thought his prettiness was going to rival the other two, but I'm just sorely disappointed. But, she doesn't really view him as an equal. He will always have the upper hand in their relationship, no matter what. They will never be able to have a proper partnership. I feel kinda bad because he just needs more one-on-one time with her like the other two had. But also, he's honestly the safest person she could be with, being an ability user in refuge. He'd be able to hire the right people to keep her safe at all times.
Honestly, I was hugely rooting for Heath at first. Partly because of my own attraction bias to red haired fun characters, but also because they understood each other on a fundamental level. They both were refugees. They both had rough lives running, and honestly, continue to live the hard life. I liked their bickering to the way he actually care about her and her safety from the start. I thought he was good for her since he gave her the experiences that make life ordinary. Until he put her in danger and made her uncomfortable just so he could have the chance at seeing her eyes again. Honestly, if he approached her saying that he knew from her necklace, and was honest about wanting to see her eyes again, she would have just showed him. It's giving Bella cliff jumping alone vibes and that's just a toxic I can't mesh with. I wanted enemies to lovers, but it was more like frienemies to enemies.
I think she'd be happiest with Ethan. I hated him at first. I thought he was Roderic Curtis, but lied about who was was at first, to try to get close with her without the money hanging over her head, trying to sus her out, ya know? (Turns out actual A.B. isn't that socially clever, and wouldn't think of that.) His "rich boy" mask just pissed me off at first, but he's actually funny?? Socialable?? And as soon as Roderic called him Ethan over the phone, I trusted him a LOT more. But he could he just toss those two unsocialables on the phone together?? Bruh! Hilarious! But rude af! Now that I know this is the REAL enemies to friends to enemies to lovers? Maaaybe
