So like just thinking about our mc giving the curtains to the duke and realistically I feel like for me at least if I gave someone something and they had such a visceral reaction to it like it triggered something (which it did to the duke) I would say sorry and take the gift back and ask if there's some other way I could make it up to them.
Obviously tho our MC wasn't purposely trying to trigger the duke and she did it out of the sincerity of her heart and also like she tried to fix it with the stars and the Duke as the knight understood her feelings behind the gift but I feel like maybeeee she should've just tried to do something else instead of doing the stars on the curtain since he was so against it considering it literally made him think about his trauma and abuse?
That's just me lol, open for a friendly discussion, what's everyone's thoughts lol?
