Unrequited, and very very creepy, love. Different standards from day. I get it. But reading about a man of 24 lusting after a girl of 15 is off-putting. Particularly because the man doesn’t think of the girl as a woman, which I would sorta get under the standards of the day even though I have a hard time thinking of a 15 year old as a woman. But he keeps calling her a child, and expressing his desire for her, though he’s willing to wait for her to reach adulthood first. Squick! ( )
