Don’t worry, it’s safe for work.

Now that we’ve all watched Conrad’s episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3, it’s finally time to talk about the peach scene. Taken directly from the books, the scene—in which Conrad and Belly stop by a fruit stand to get some peaches—is undeniably hot (if a little cringey), and has already sent fans into a well-deserved tizzy.

Of course, now that Christopher Briney has revealed what was going through Conrad’s mind during the peach scene, it’s even more delicious.

“I think it’s sort of like an Icarus moment where he loses touch with reality for a second,” Chris told Deadline when asked about the scene. “What’s going through his mind?”

According to Chris, it totally made sense for Conrad to use his white T-shirt to wipe peach juice off of Belly’s chin (all while staring into her soul…) “As much as I don’t think it’s a sin to wipe off somebody’s face, what else was he gonna use?” he asked. “‘Oh, let me go to the car and get a napkin.’ There aren’t napkins in that car.”

So! Conrad wasn’t trying to seduce his ex and brother’s finacée, or use the peaches as a metaphor for their relationship. He was just being practical! Chris continued, calling the moment a slip-up for Conrad. “I think that he loses touch with what is correct, and I think puts himself in sort of a dangerous place,” he said. (That said: It might be dangerous for Conrad, but it’s heaven for #TeamConrad fans.)

And as dreamy and romantic as the peach scene looked on screen, it was much less glamorous on set. “What was going through my mind was all the gnats that were flying into my mouth because it was awful,” Chris told Deadline. “[Jenny Han] said, as I breathed in, a gnat went into my mouth, and then I breathed out, and it came out. I don’t know what it was doing in there, but that’s my memory.”

Maybe Conrad should have used that shirt to get the gnats out of his mouth instead. Just saying!
