I disagree whole heartedly.
There are so obviously sparks! They're subtle but they're there! Even in January the way he looks at her, the way they work about and protect one another. How well they get along. How impressed he is with her skills and heartened she is when he wants her to get Mikey out of this lifestyle. You can even see the sparks in their mutual love and respect for Mikey. They are clearly attracted to eachother, like being around one another, are kind to the other, help eachother... What more do people need? Should she walk up to him and grab his dangly bits and say: “hot employer man; I would like to put your thing in my thing” before dry-humping his leg and he howls like s carton wolf?
I keep seeing people say that they have zero chemistry with each other and I am very tired of it. The author said it would be a slow burn more specifically a "slowwww burn" it is going to take a while to finally start to see sparks between them...(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
