I love this!! It’s perfect in ways I’ve always wanted. Very understated, the story telling is so well done and all the characters have a ton of actual character. I love the MC, I totally understand why he would throw the watch in the water. It makes sense with his character. My interpretation is that he’s frustrated, lonely and this simmering attraction that he can’t name makes him even more irritable.
The act of giving him the watch so casually makes him angry because he can’t define the boundaries of their relationship. He can’t read too much into it and he also can’t tell if it means something or not. His frustration bleeds into his actions. He can’t seem to stop replying, stop meeting him and can’t cut him out of his life.
