And then what about the guy Harper was caught with? What did she actually do with him? Does she have feelings for that guy or is he just a friend? (My one storyline rec is that you incorporate him later on in the story again as a second love interest, or someone that gets Noah jealous I love the jealous and possessive scenes in smut )
But for now, if it were up to me, I would explore more backstory like I mentioned above. Then, I would showcase each of their internal struggle with the fact that they want someone they're not supposed to in a bit more detail.
Let it play out across some more scenes before they actually do the deed and then go for it full steam ahead.
