Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-34218125-20180209012608

Here's the definition of crush: " a brief but intense infatuation for someone, especially someone unattainable.". Hm, let's talk about that.

Sophie's so-called crush on Fitz is not brief, at all. That "crush" has existed ever since she met him and lasted for 2 full years. It is an intense infatuation I will give it that. But unattainable? I think not. Sophie and Fitz are close friends, they know one another very well and she shares things with him all the time, unattainable is the opposite of what Fitzphie's relationship is made of.

So in the end I would argue that a crush on Fitz is not what Sophie has.

Okay, well then here's the definition of love: "an intense feeling of deep affection." This seems more like it.

Intense, yep. A strong fluttery, overwhelmed feeling every single time Fitz is around, that's pretty intense. Deep affection, I would say yes. She hates seeing Fitz upset, it makes her sad and unhappy, she enjoys being around him, hanging out with him, and going to telepathy sessions where they talk privately together, she thinks he is incredibly attractive and sm more.

Sophie's only 14 (and a half?), she's not ready for love yet so she labels it as a crush, thinking she will get over it. Keefe thinks of his affection for Sophie as long-term (and if you really study the definition of crush I think you could get a great arguement again Sokeefe but I'll leave that to someone else) and that makes it seem more of a boyish crush to me. I'm really excited to see in the next book how the characters (esp Sophie, Fitz and Keefe) mature more, maybe Sophie will she actually loves Fitz and it isn't simply a crush, perhaps Keefe will move on and consider maybe Sophie isn't the girl for me, maybe I just have a brief infatuation for her so we'll be better off as friends. Who knows, but anyways I am HYPED for Flashback :)
