#i believe calo and storer knew the takes this scene would bring

Body Language and words- Sydney, during the table scene- everything he said hit her-I wouldn't even want to do it without you. She slows down, looks up, and pauses. I'm sorry, this is more than work; his words caught her attention...

I don't even think what he was saying to a business partner was hitting Carmy on what it could mean; he was just being honest and speaking from the heart.

"I won't let you." More words from Carmy catch Sydney by surprise, and she realizes she can feel his gaze this time. Did she always notice Carmy staring at her throughout the show, or is this a new? His stare was intense—he wanted her to meet his eyes in that moment. More eye contact- more left unsaid where Sydney holds his gaze and where he needs to look away. That staring into each other's eyes- they were catching up to the vibes and had to break eye contact.

This is a favorite when his breathing slows down at Sydney's expression - like she's taking his breath away, and he's almost frozen. Does she look taken aback? But after that, she's touched by his words - that she's not alone and promises him the same thing.

Fx is right- it was love, intimacy, and devotion spoken between them.

Note: Carmy, you shouldn’t say all those sweet nothings: You make me better at this; I wouldn’t even want to do it without you. You’re not alone, Syd. All of those words were spoken by Carmy, who, just 12 to 16 hours ago, confirmed with Richie that he had a girlfriend. He later told Fak that he liked her, but not that he loved her.

So it's confirmed for us that Carmy isnt in love with Claire- only likes her.

And the next scene as Sydney and Carmy fix the table, was intentionally written to leaves us questioning whether there is love between Sydney and Carmy (not like).
