“mutually adoring rivals”

He escapes the nest. He slides into an assistant coach role. He steps back onto an exy court with his nondominant hand. He grabs Riko’s arm when he goes after Neil at Kathy’s show.

Do you think Nora is not gonna retcon this piece of the EC:

So far they haven’t talked and from Jean’s POV it seems very likely:

They are going to have the shared interview and Jean’s rumors are 100% gonna be brought up. I wonder if Kevin is gonna want to discuss the topic with Jean in private before, maybe to organize what Kevin has to answer, or afterwards. But last time a raven, Thea, brought up the subject in a very raven-y insensitive way, Jean had a panic attack and sent them away:

But does this mean they won’t properly talk until book 3? It would actually be pretty interesting to only have solo time with Kevin from Jeremy’s POV. It would also make Jeremy’s role as the bridge between them extremely relevant during the interview. And Neil! It seems Jean is gonna become closer and closer to Neil and Jeremy, both very important to Kevin, but distance himself from Kevin.
