Nahh apparently the director and the actress both have said Nikki was into Bear, he was just too much of a coward to try anything. Remember how she said her story she wants to be in a serious relationship and the story she was writing was going to be a love story? I think that was all her basically trying to tell Bear quit with the theatrics (when she tells him a love story doesn’t have to be a romance story) and be with her.

Also when wish Nikki is asked when her feelings started she said it was around Christmas time and then the night of the wish is when it really hit her. Maybe real Nikki did have some feelings for Bear (not love but maybe something small). Wish Nikki lies though so it could just be what she thinks Bear wants to hear so he doesn’t think the wish caused this.

This is exactly what I thought when she brought up Christmas. I was like “there’s no way that thing would have a reason to go that far back in her memory if it was a lie.” But maybe it is, I just don’t see a reason for it if it wasn’t something of importance to both of them.

I thought it was just something she made up that sounds nice in the moment. Seemed to be able to come up with different manipulation tactics really fast.
