First of all, how cute is Peter! He seems so charming and sweet, from the moment he walked in, I could tell how much he cared for Linda but as soon as they were introduced they went away. I didn't feel like I had the chance to full connect to them because I was introduced to someone else and then even more people after that so it's kind of hard to remember them because the other characters are equally interesting and I enjoy the dialogue between...
