When your boss is in love with you he just signs the checks.

Virgil's needs are very limited due to his magic. He only has to eat once or twice a week.

His hotel room is permanently reserved, so that's pretty pricy.

Due to plot, it does get him in a little bit of trouble later.

I can see that. In books it seems a silly approach, like sure if that's the character, but I'm supposed to be in their head.

That's why Iike 3rd person limited, as you can get:

"*Quip*" *why do I keep pushing people away*

Let me have my angst and eat it too. 😆

It's so cute. It gets saccharine in the sequel. Lucifer experiments with flirty games, the most effective is about Virgil trying not to blush.

Virgil loses immediately on this line: "The most sensitive part of you I can stroke is your ego." 😆

Yes, their physical relationship kind of has its own arc, but that's mostly in the follow-up, "Hail Santa."

The most fun part of that to write was Virgil reaching out to Azzi, the Lord of Lust, as a kind of sex therapist. 😆

Yeah, this is definitely overdone, but I think it’s almost never done right.

I am guilty of this occasionally IRL and the message is: I don’t trust you.

My ADHD means I overshare like hell, so sometimes you need a retreat tactic as you remember you’re among acquaintance not friends.
