Fishin's just an excuse, I suspect...
I especially like this scene. The scenery is so beautiful and just the two of them in the boat makes it a very intimate interaction. This occurs right after the pot luck and it is the first time we see Ray in a setting he's more comfortable in while around Livy. I also love how he steals a glace at her legs and then looks away. How cute!
I think this is also the first time we see Livy with her guard down around Ray. As she leans back, soaking up the quiet surroundings, we see a glimpse of Livy enjoying herself. It's a taste of what's to come!
