She is known for being likeable and popular, the very antithesis of him, and yet, with Finn she can’t quite get her footing.

Moreover, it works, until the very things she is pushing him towards fills up his life and could so easily rip him away from her. Because as life long ago taught him, some barriers are permanent.
