she doesn’t see Abel in a romantic way at all! her love for Abel is in no way romantic. And she is imagining how the character Abel would’ve looked like in the future, not the actual Abel. she’s relating to the time when she only read about Abel in a novel. also the father and son literally have the exact same features that’s why even the dad is mistaking her handkerchief of Abel as himself. She doesn’t love any of the two romantically, Abel? never. the dad? maybe in the future. so it’s not creepy at all that she’s comparing Abel to his father who she also has no romantic interest in
like- she was blushing you know? she basically said that she was attracted to the grown up version of Abel
i doubt there's any other way to comprehend that
is it predatory towards abel? no, that's okay- she's sketchy enough in other scenes tho, IMO
like- this one is creepy because it's not fair towards the father I think
he IS being compared to his child- (the future appearance of his child) there's no way its not creepy, (even knowing she isnt in love with either of them )
like- I think its either you find it funny or you find it creepy, and we

if she compares her soon to be son to her soon to be husband ...in a.. romantic way ...im out bro thats creepy as hell T_T
