Late to the discussion but reading all the stuff about how she acted around Hobbie makes me very uncomfortable because at some point I was in her situation. See, I surprisingly ended up marrying my bestfriend. However, I fancied him for years and years before we got together in our twenties (we met and got inseparable when we were 5!) but I respected the friendship we had enough not to cross any lines and/or make him uncomfortable, even to the point of being the perfect wingwoman during university. I could have easily messed everything up and lost him if I acted like how Gabby did. It just hits different for me because I could've been that girl that didn't know how to act around a friend I'm besotted with lol(and trust me, it was a possibility during our teens because being a teenager is hard with unrequited love and all that rot lol). Thank god I wasn't that emotionally and socially stunted even back then.
Watching her interacting with him makes me want to hug myself lol
