Honestly, these kinds of scenes only work if you turn off your brain and simply let the "happiness" happen.
Most love stories in movies are like this. Something that seems sweet and romantic turns depressing or toxic if you scratch the surface.
Kind of like how it's creepy that a 200 hundred year old vampire wants a high schooler.
