INSIGHT: she’s telling him something about himself that he needs to hear, using the tools he’s so used to for expressing feelings… and it becomes a moment of acknowledgement for him. I think this leads to his behavior of gratitude at the end of the scene.
I learned that characters can have a great and complex attraction when they each have something to offer the other that is not just physical or complimentary.
Their mutual love for music is the starting point, but it gets deeper because she picks up on his needs being expressed in the music. He realizes he can trust her as she opens up to him as well.

I learned it can be more interesting if two people connect and share feelings without solely using words.

I learned that a scene doesn’t have to be about one thing. The layers of Ally singing, that lonely parking lot, and Jack, even though he’s famous, sitting with a stranger, make the attraction all the more intriguing.
This is what I have to remember when writing a scene about attractions. Bring in other elements, but make sure they all tie into what makes one person attracted to another.
