From teasing each other about who loves who more to sweetly debating who complains more when sick, Joan and Chock couldn’t stop smiling.
Their dynamic was filled with warmth and genuine affection. Chock insisted, “I love you more,” to which Joan quickly replied, “No, you don’t!” The flirty exchange was enough to convince even the most skeptical viewers that this couple is deeply in love. Their joy was contagious, and the banter proved that they are in it for the long haul.
