“I love what Toni does here, too, with this kiss. I like this in general, because it’s just sort of something that she accepts, that Laura gives to her. It’s a very pure moment, it’s really about wanting to connect with somebody and care for them and comfort them. And she loves her, and there’s also, you know, an element of sexuality involved. You see Toni accept all those things, and then–deny it. And the fact that there is no discussing it, no explaining it… it’s allowed to exist, and then, for Laura, the scary thing is that then it evaporates.”
