How do I explain it, I love their trip to Lavo. That's where their closeness grew; they go places just the two of them, with Date not letting up they're a couple now. He loves her so bad, until everything is a twosome : "If they say you're crazy, then count me in - I'm crazy too!" he says.
While daily, Prik is biting at the bit, so funny once or twice she like went nuts she wanted to go with them.
Jumpa: You want to go so bad, I'll take you tomorrow
Prik: (Like a spoilt kid) Why can't we go today? (not sure here who's the boss - she or Jumpa hahaha)
Then there's Jumpa subtly letting them have alone times; a meal together (first time, I think?). When they were about to eat in that quiet little corner, Kade is still being herself but I felt that Date is a husband already; it's the way he readily gives in, his smiles, the things he said to her. It fraught the air with his unsaid feelings, made that moment special.
I think love, when presented flamboyantly on a golden platter, is worth a lot less against the deep, silent killer type which is that of our Khun P. It's the things which he doesn't say that means a lot - and keeps you hanging. He downplayed shattering bombshells in succession, letting it sink, changing the subject and pretends it didn't happen - while obviously knowing these pleases her greatly.
Kade: (Stilled at having to eat with hands again) I'd like to buy cutlery
Date: If that makes you happy. And once we're married (so loving the gentle, easy way he said this), I'll let you run the household, be the head
Kade: I don't want to be head
Date: You're right, you don't need to. Because I'm not planning on having any flings anyway. You'll be the only one.
(Kade can't believe it, her face went - ahhhhh .... pleased, speechless)
Date: (Like he didn't dropped that piece of jewel) What's this?? (checking out the food) Moo sarong! (Meat rolls!) Tasty!
Kade: Khun P! What are you saying? (Did he just declared he'll be monogamous? As in love her that much he'll go against what other men in his time are expected to)
Date: (As if she hasn't spoken, in a matter of fact way stunning her with another juicy surprise) Today I'm taking you to see the 3-pronged Holy Tower
(Kade's face went another round of - oh no! I can't believe it!)
It's so touching in that moment to see the look on Date's face as he studied her reaction. His love & concern is so clear to see. He knows that Kade's wants are different from other women's, the things which makes her happy, and he's been doing that - bringing her to Lavo, and giving her everything so that she stays that way.
LATER
But when they got on the horse, I'm sure he did something naughty! In adjusting his seating position I think he thrust himself (hard!) against her!! Wheww.....!! Khun P! Did you just do that??!
I lost count the number of times he tightened his arms around her waist as they rode into town. Also, his sniffing no longer stayed a 2-seconds whiffing thing, he's ensured himself about 3 hours worth of horse ride with his cheek in her hair. haha Por Date!!
