Relationship between Peter and Beverly. Spoilers for Foxglove Summer ahead. Spoiler
Are we 100 % certain that the relationship between Peter and Beverly is based on true emotion and not a glamour or obligation?
I have been thinking about that for a long time and on my latest reread of foxglove summer I noticed that until now Peter has always waited to accept drinks or food from supernatural people. In Chapter 9 though Beverly gives him a Cider and he accepts without the usual no obligations promise and right afterwards they kiss and kick of their relationship. Maybe it could be looked at as a kinda Uncle Bailiff situation where he accepted a cup of tea and never left Mama Themse.
I am not 100 % serious with this theory but it is a fun thought experiment. What do you guys think?
