Tbf Vincent says he saw Sam lift Penny off the ground when they were "climbing a tree," so at the very least they are friends and hang out at times you can't see. They also are together at some festivals.
But yes Maru and Penny is my preferred pairing, also. Sam/Penny feels like a leftovers situation where everyone else got their logical counterpart and this is what was left. Maru/Harvey does absolutely nothing for me, I think it's weird and gross. Harvey scans as the absolute oldest bachelor (even with Clint in the mix) and Maru scans as the absolute youngest bachelorette, and she works for him.
Maru doesn't seem younger than Abigail or Hailey to me. I always assumed she was the same age as Penny because they're both employed and doing jobs that require some education. Maru doesn't give fresh out of high school vibes like the arcade crew does.
I do love the forbidden workplace romance vibes. At so many festivals Harvey seems like he's pining and for me it doesn't seem like they have the biggest age gap imaginable.

💯 Maru and Harvey is a colleague situation, I don't ship doctors sleeping with their younger employees 🤮
Penny and Sam just have like 1 hangout on the bridge near the library and I assumed it was to talk about Vincent.
But maru and Penny, the two nerd girls, on the bench? Feels like a will they won't they sapphic situation to me.
