I genuinely wanted to DNF at the beginning because Hazel was getting on my nerves, and London was too pushy with Hazel. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being confident and flirty, but even if you don’t believe her, why keep flirting with a woman who has told you repeatedly she doesn’t like women. It can give off the impression you’re trying to force it on them. After a certain point you can obviously tell Hazel was attracted but she wasn’t ready to accept and you kept trying. Off that alone, I initially did not care for London. 

However I liked the way they opened up to each other, and how both of them had things they needed to work through to be ready to love each other. In the end, I really enjoy how this played out and the growth you saw in both women.
