I'm not just saying this because I'm a Brallie Shipper, but it seriously looks like Maia and David have a connection, there's something there, more than just friendship :o
For several years they both said they were only friends. I read ,finally, that they DID date. Sorry , it was an article I happened on. I think they were trying to be discreet, because it could harm others. Ciera, perhaps knows the truth. She would say, Maia already has a boyfriend when asked about David. I know they both "officially" let it be known they were both dating others in, I think, May of 2015. Anyway it was at the same time. They were involved - pictures don't lie. First season too, you could tell. First Kiss. They used the first take.
I like the idea of the actors dating but sometimes if that actually happens they may break up and the ship on the show may never happen and I’d rather see the ship happen then drama off screen possibly ruin a great ship down the line.
