Cristina: So you’re saying that you think of me?
Remember when I said a while ago that this romance works despite the fact that the writers kind of forgot to write an actual romance and it was all due to Adriana and Berta selling every single interaction they had on screen together thereby making us forget that these two haven’t even had an actual conversation yet (beyond the general soap conversation, I mean). Moments like this are exactly what I meant. I love how Cristina is trying to be tender and touchy with Isabel here and Isabel is not having it … or at the very least, trying to not have it. Cristina will take any kind of contact she can get away with, a touch of the hand, a touch of the cheek, a touch of her hair, all the while delivering the most cheese laced dialogue, but still managing to make it work. The one thing I noticed upon this re-watch was how Cristina stares at Isabel as she walks away and proceeds to do a “so in love with you it physically pains me to look at you, but I am so happy I can explode and melt into a puddle at the same time” sigh. Which begs the question … is Isabel that awesome in bed? Answer. Yes!
