Yeah, neither of them really knew how things were meant to go, but they both just kept trying to move forward with it anyway

^ Yes, indeed. They were clearly on the same page with that. They forged that bond because they both wanted to be there for each other, and to be the person that the other person needed.

Yeah, it was really good for both of them to say it loud, because they're both the type to assume that someone doesn't really care about them unless they've explicitly said so

rocky845

^ Oh, for sure. It was important that they both knew that they felt the same way about their dynamic.

starryeyesxx

Even if it scared them to do that

rocky845

^ Ah, yes. Both of them taking the leap of faith took a lot of courage. I'm so happy they both put themselves out there, because it only made them grow closer.

It did

^ Aw, I love those moments! It was so obvious from their first moment together that Shawn and Maya were going to have a really beautiful father-daughter bond. I'm so happy TPTB were able to build the relationship.

Yeah, I think that before they even met, a lot of the audience felt like they would have a connection

rocky845

^ They were right. I can't imagine what the show would have been like if TPTB hadn't brought Shawn and Maya together.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, that is a weird thought!

rocky845

^ Right? The fact that TPTB gave Maya a similar background to Shawn pretty much guaranteed that they would have a strong bond.

They did, it felt right from the pilot that the writers were purposely drawing parallels between her & Shawn

rocky845

^ I noticed that. It was only a matter of time before they met and we got to see their dynamic in action.

Makes me wonder what Cory thought of them meeting, because from the moment Maya said 'I have no one at home who helps me with my homework', I think that he immediately thought of Shawn
