Always shipped them, he understands her really well, he understands the things she's lost, the things she's been through, he understands what's she's like, I think he truly loves her even after being tortured by her he comforted her and told her everything was going to be okay, he was raised to believe that her family was terrible, he changed his ways and said "your good hope and you don't deserve any of this" he truly had feelings for her and I think hope and Landon in legacies just seems so forced and hope and Roman are just soulmate type stuff
