They don't know each other particularly well, which is the way Spencer suspects April prefers things between them, but he can say with confidence that he does like her. He knows there must be enormous parts of her life that she doesn't look back on with fondness, knows that there's a mess of things going on even in Siren Cove that nobody would be happy to have to be burdened with, but for all that, she isn't a cruel woman. At least, she's never been to him. The one-sided flirting is harmless, and he's quite certain that even she knows that; besides that, Spencer's never been quick to trust, but there's a level of simplicity in their odd friendship that makes it easier for him to feel comfortable with her.
She doesn't ask many questions of him and in return, he does the same. The primary difference is that Spencer's past has been plastered all over headlines but even then, anyone who doesn't look at him like he might have truly been responsible for the death of his mother and brother is someone he's willing to make an effort to allow in his life.
"At least you didn't try to have me killed?" he offers with a wry, crooked smile. "So not quite a Disney villain. You should just start telling people you were Tinkerbell, what with all the mischief and meddling. Besides, in the end, you only helped bring us together so really, I suppose we ought to be thanking you."
