For me, Autumn's character development will be a "it's about the journey and not the destination" when talking about her having sex and I am all for that. That is why I highly pitched that idea of Autumn in MC's bed. For me, my thinking is Autumn has been told a lot of innocent actions between a man and woman leads to sex. While that type of thinking does make people more on guard around sketchy scenarios, it makes innocent actions like "hold a hand" lead to that person freak out and say things about marriage
