I can't get over how cute these two are together!

Seeing Angie's playful side come out more and more now that she's fully adjusted to Ben's situation is so much fun! I'm glad Ben can take a joke because some of these scenes would read very differently if he was sensitive about his size or didn't trust Angie completely. Hell, I just love how she just picks him up without asking now, and he doesn't even think to complain! It's just such a natural groove that they've fallen into, and little things like that are what make the larger story between them so great!

It even seems like Angie is even starting to accept that she actually likes having Ben like this! I think there have been signs of that since their first session together, before she even knew it was him massaging her hands and feet, but seeing this go beyond casual playfulness to a point where she's softly lamenting not having him tiny anymore was great! And that feeling is amplified by scenes like her falling asleep with her hand covering him with just the right pressure to be comfortable, even looking out for him subconsciously.

That whole pool scene was just so perfect! From Angie improvising a floatation device from the takeout container (nice emphasis on how that sounded to Ben, by the way) to her dipping a toe in the pool purposely too close to Ben to the way she dragged him through the water while they talked, it was a fantastic blend of size and chemistry.

I like that they're now starting to think about how the friend group is going to react to the news of them dating (although I don't think they'll be as shocked as these two think!), but I'm still wondering why neither of them has thought to let them know about Ben's condition, especially when they knew they had to find a new place for Ben to stay by Sunday night. Although, given how the chapter ended, I'm wondering whether that's going to continue to be the case.

I'm still loving how Angie plays dress-up with little Ben. It's a bit racy, but at the same time, the way you handle it makes sure that the scene doesn't lose the wholesome vibe of the larger story (although that comment about how Ben will "get used to it" certainly had some ... implications). Angie deciding to undress herself in front of Ben wasn't just cute (her being shy and nervous about Ben's reaction was adorable), but it also shows that, despite all the fun she's having with her new boyfriend's tiny size, she's still thinking of him as an equal. He let her see him naked, so she's right that it's "only fair," but she didn't have to do that at all. So it's awesome that she took that chance and also wanted to make sure Ben didn't feel like there's a different standard just because she's a giant to him.

I'm also really enjoying Rosa! It must be nice to have someone order pizza for you (I can't explain why, but I've fought with people over not doing that)! But seeing her so happy to serve her lady and even get a little protective of her when she saw Ben's sleeping arrangements for the night was adorable. And I love that Rosa is even willing to stall her actual bosses, the ones who sign her paychecks, in order to make sure Angie could preserve her secret from her mother. She's such a sweet character!

The new couple's banter during the movie was adorable, as was Angie still being embarrassed by her family's excessive lifestyle. That makes her feel even more down-to-earth, being aware of how something like a movie theater in her house might look, especially to someone like Ben. But again, Ben doesn't mind at all!

Oh, and Angie wanting to find ways to keep that debating spirit alive between them even though they're now dating is awesome! That's part of why she fell for him, so it only makes sense, too. And I noticed that she did go back to using his last name at times in this chapter. I'm wondering if that was part of the reason why.

Lastly, seeing Angie panic at the thought of her mom finding out about Ben being in her room was interesting. That was by far the most forceful she's been with him since he's been tiny, although it wasn't really forceful at all. But it was very matter-of-fact that he was going to go in that dollhouse crib and cover himself up. She was too worried about her mother to hear any debate on this particular issue! It was just really interesting to see this side of her, gentle yet absolute in the politest way possible.

So yeah, now I'm wondering if Ben will be able to stay hidden from Angie's mom. Or will his mother discover his presence and give Ben no choice but to work his tiny magic and get to the heart of her distant relationship with her daughter?
