And our sweet Appleton Falls pub owner deserves his moment. Theo is a good person, pure and simple. But he lives in a small town and, until recently, had a terrible father preventing him from being open. So an offer to fake-date a man he’s crushed on seems tempting.

I like how they both grew and learned along the way, and their dates and quiet moments together were special. Appleton Falls is a great town, with great friends (if slightly o...
