What is your most favorite romance trope, and why do you like it?

Slow burn romance!! It's all about that drawn-out tension that keeps you on the edge, waiting for that magical moment when everything finally clicks into its place. Whether it’s enemies-to-lovers, where two people go from absolutely hating each other’s guts to realizing they can’t live without each other, or friends/partners-to-lovers, where the connection deepens over time—slow burn is where every glance, every word, and every touch is loaded with meaning. It’s the kind of makes my heart race and had me screaming, "Just kiss already! KISS ME" because the payoff is always worth the wait!
