Spoiler:
They get together in the end
Wait what how’d you know thatv
Someone who read it told me.
Pretty sure the author is a woman. When I read asterisk there was an author note saying they felt like that was their first real romance story. So I think the author themselves thinks they aren’t very good at writing romance, or romantic stories, so this might just be a result of that.
Also, in her other romance story the characters split for a while/break up before coming back together, so maybe that’s just something they do in their romance stories.
honestly i have been reading this for quite some time now and honestly i like many others have been holding our hope that the 2 women would finally hook up but the more i read this the more i realize that the author of this has ZERO intention of doing so and in fact i would not be shocked if the author of this is not in fact a guy who really has a very limited grasp on romance
