Welcome! And wow I hadn’t thought of that. Antis have always claimed Raf uses Mateo as a bargaining chip to get Jane to be with him. And I love that the writers are completely dismantling that in these episodes! On top of that, Jane is the one who is using Mateo’s reading issues to get Raf time. Love this development.

Eta: @Muffy Thank you for posting the JSU interview. Glad she confirmed that Raf is protecting his heart. I miss happy J/R so much right about now.
