Theme Development
Perfection vs. Authenticity Vivian learns her grandmother wasn't perfect; Milo learns preparation matters. Both find middle ground.
Control vs. Trust Vivian's arc from controlling fear to trusting love; learning partnership means shared vulnerability
Legacy vs. Identity Escaping grandmother's shadow and mother's expectation to build individual identity
Performance vs. Reality Both characters performing confidence; learning real connection requires dropping the act
