A dangerous trend in modern romance writing is conflating "drama" with "abuse." Extra quality relationships navigate the razor's edge between conflict and toxicity.

You have faces and framing. Use close-ups sparingly—they are the emotional exclamation point. Use proxemics (how close characters stand) to track intimacy. A couple that begins a scene six feet apart and ends it at two feet has told an entire arc without a word.
A "slow burn" is often mistaken for delayed physical intimacy. Extra quality romance focuses on slow trust —the gradual, often clumsy process of revealing flaws, setting boundaries, and learning to rely on someone. The emotional payoff is not the kiss; it’s the moment one character admits they were wrong, or stays when they have every reason to leave.
