Joshua is in town filming a new movie called Happy Hours with Katie Holmes — reuniting some 22 years after they wrapped on Dawson’s Creek. Simone is in town filming the hotly anticipated sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2.

“Joshua Jackson and Simone Ashley are spending time together,” People Magazine boldly declared, with zero sway in either direction to suggest this was or was not romantic. But we know what they meant… because of the implications.

According to Harpers Bazaar, this was Simone and Joshua’s first public one-on-one outing. And with updates like these, who wouldn’t be excited to spring to work and talk about the latest Hollywood it-couple!

Now, that’s all the ‘official’ information we know at this stage. Riveting? If you have a vivid imagination and a sense of whimsy in your heart, yes.

Because if you zoom in — like a creep and/or entertainment expert looking for a hot scoop — you’ll notice that their hands grazed.

If regency-era pop culture content has taught us anything — and I like to think it has — it’s that a hand-graze is the ultimate sign of blossoming romance and feelings™. And if being a fan of Joshua Jackson has taught me another thing, it’s that this man loves to engage in a little PDA, and a breezy summer stroll with a slight hand-graze might just be the perfect introduction to his new relationship.
