He clearly loves to listen to her. She brings music to his life. Shares her former worst worries--but now she again hopes, in shared terms: "So I guess we don't have to worry about this rain bein' the end of world." The cut to the modest forest flowers after she shares her reborn hopes. Life is growing, from painfully barren ground. He proposes while boiling her clothes. Sharing the hopes & memories that endure pain. "Can you swim? I can't either." Show me where you'll build your home, indeed.
What a sweet shyness they have when they first eat together. Decency--and timidity about trusting the other with their loneliness. How he looks to the ceiling when she's telling about the preacher who couldn't walk on water. She's hopeful but reasoning and realistic--balanced despite all she's been through. Confess their limits to each other. With the kindness he's given her, she puts positive spin on things. With his loyal kindness, she longer worries about the end of the world.
