I felt that the post kiss walk around the lake was taken to be
private - H&G walking away from the reader to have 'private time'.
It seems as though H&G's relationship was pretty much established
through friendship, all they have done is taken is a natural step
further. Having much more 'on screen' time could have been too
voyeuristic, and could have detracted from the idea that H needed
some 'time out' from the LV situation. Also as teenagers get older,
they become more secretive - perhaps this is why the ship story is
not expanded; H may not have wanted to 'discuss' it.
I don't know if this makes sense, but I know what I mean.
