I think that we, as a society, moved on too quickly from that scene in Tangled where Eugene and Rapunzel are waiting for the lanterns and he holds flowers for her to place on the water surface.
The silent beauty of this scene is so poetic.
They're not talking about important stuff for the plot. They're just enjoying each others' company in such a simple way. No need for talking. He's looking at Rapunzel and sees how she's living the moment, not afraid of being outside, not worried about her mother anymore or what will come next.
And can I imagine those flowers were picked by Eugene from her braid? To show that Rapunzel is comfortable with him touching her hair since she knows he's not interested in her because of it.
I mean, where else would they have gotten the flowers? He'd already shown to be trustworthy touching her hair when he helped her gather it up when they first got into town! 🥰
