We all know those looks, a character spent a season battling their feelings for a crush and then there is that moment.
The other person isn't looking and our favorite character sneaks that glance that screams how in love they are with someone who has no idea.
It hurts our hearts because we just want those two to get together, and yet at the same time we love that for ourselves.
There is something about getting to see someone's love that translates so successfully on the screen, leaving us with our own favorite looks of longing.
19 Women on TV That Deserve Our Appreciation
It is all about the buildup that managed to make that moment so iconic for us, but it is also about the promise of more of this.
It is really nice to get to see characters feeling, in a way it might even deserve to be celebrated.

Co-star Abigail Spencer (aka Lucy Preston) added, “It’s true. Thank you for all your support #Timeless fans! It’s been an absolute joy playing your Lucy. I sincerely hope we get...

Before Timeless‘ Lucy Preston and Wyatt Logan smooched in Hedy Lamarr’s guest house during the Season 2 episode “Hollywoodland,” they were set to kiss in a very different location, under rather different circumstances.
In the deleted scene below — which was later reshot due to production difficulties, co-creator Shawn Ryan explained on Twitter — the time travelers (played by Abigail Spencer and Matt Lanter) lock lips in a pool.
Ha! We had some production difficulties the night we filmed their first kiss in the pool, so we reshot the kiss in the guest house. #Timeless https://t.co/BZW4cqvooT

With the cancellation/renewal decision still in the network's hands, #Clockblockers (fans of the Timeless TV show on NBC) have been hard at work pleading with the Peacock Network to renew Timeless for season three.
