I don't think this will end happily with them two.. there's too much water under the bridge, its overflowing and they can't quite cross without getting swept away again by their currents. I also notice that, in plenty of.. inner monologue? (Is that what you'd call the story bits that have no bubble, just words and a blank background?) The author uses past tense, even when they're referencing current events in the story. "That's what I *had* thought then", "back then" "this is how we were" etc., It seems almost like this is a story told from their points of view in the past., and the word choice/context seems so sad I really have a feeling they didn't make it together..
