I absolutely agree. If it wasn't for the fact that the story is heavy at times, I don't think many of us would spend the double-digits amount of hours that this game takes. It's what keeps it engaging. So it wasn't a criticism by any means, just pointing out that after the emotional roller coaster this game has been recently, it was nice to have something a bit more toned down.
And as for how you did with the romantic aspect of the scene, it was great. It's so easy for writers to take "romance" too far and there's always a risk that it becomes cheesy in that case. You managed to avoid that. The romance was clearly there but still subtle.
