"Where are people getting Chelley & Ace "closed off"? I had to go back and rewatch the scene again to make sure I wasn't tripping. Chelley said she was done exploring Chris and wants to close off. Ace affirms he hears her but doesn't respond one way or the other," a person wrote.
"This Chelley wanted/wants Chris talk pointless and makes no sense. Chris wanted her in and after casa, she showed NO interest and he left and settled. HE SAID IT HIMSELF so what are we saying? Chelley is smitten by Ace Wym? Some things are not worth speaking on," a fan commented.
