I gotta say, that "getting poked by a knife" thing was so dumb. If it led somewhere, then fine. But it was strictly used as a poor attempt at humor. I mean it switched gears way to fast from omg it's poking me! Into, I need to tell you this huge secret.... And then after all that they just go for a walk.... Yeah, I think the whole chapter would've felt less cringe if they just left the boner joke out and had a touching moment. Now if they had the touching moment, they go on their walk, the boner joke happens, and then that walk leads them to the bedroom then that would have a lot better flow and have a more satisfying ending instead of whatever rushed mess that short ass chapter was.
