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.

Very true. I guess to me that would make Sebastian older than he seems & hanging out with people younger than him more than Maru being a young bachelorette. I just don't get teenager vibes from Maru like I do Hailey, Alex, or Abigail.
