I had a difficult time separating the talky talk from the swoon, because the talky talk IS the swoon. The only reason Ariane gets a more emphatic yay than Zane is because she needs a BFF more than he does. Normally I’d steal this kind of guy for myself, but Ariane and Zane are just SO CUTE together!
