hey simon mirren? what the fuck was this:

Indoors, a woman wearing a muted green jacket over a dark top. Her brown hair is cut in a bob that just brushes her shoulders, and has a slight wave to it. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Well, if it isn't Dr. Reid."
A man wearing a dark blue button-up sweater over a white button-up and brown tie stands with his hands in his pockets in front of glass walls. His brown hair is cut short, about to his ears. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Elle? Wow."
The woman in the muted green jacket raises her eyebrows. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "Nice haircut."
The man in the blue button-up sweater approaches the woman in the muted green jacket. The subtitle at the top of the image reads: "Thanks! Yeah."
A close-up of the woman in the muted green jacket, brows still raised and now smiling. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "I like your haircut, too."
The woman in the muted green jacket angles her head slightly down and to the right and looks up and to the left, at the man in the blue button-up sweater, who is now standing out-of-focus in front of her. The subtitles at the top of the image read:
-"Is that a boy's regular?"
and
"Yeah, it is."
The man in the blue button-up sweater smiles subtly and awkwardly. The subtitle at the top of the image reads: "Wait, do you not...Do you not like it?"
The woman in the muted green jacket smiles lopsidedly, mid laugh. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "it's totally you."

(it's a little hard to tell from the image, but elle's "it's totally you" reads to me as earnest, if slightly teasing)

am i supposed to think elle is being sarcastic? because it's not coming off that way to me—although caveat that i am autistic and bad at reading tone. is it platonic? it doesn't read platonic to me. and not because "oh my god a man and a woman complimented eachother. they must be in love" but. im sorry im legitimately trying to read this scene from any angle other than "there is mutual attraction" and i am not finding it! am i biased because i ship them or is this scene legitimately just Like That.

EDIT: forgot that this happens like a minute later. what the fuck!!! you cant do this to me!!!

The woman in the muted green jacket smiles. The subtitle at the bottom of the image reads: "I'm all yours, Dr. Reid."
