Maybe I'm wrong (see I said that upfront this time), but after the seventies I don't think Stevie ever wished or hoped that the two of them would be friends, or more than friends.
She does not like the man (apologies if that wording is misandric).
She played up all the "maybe this, maybe that" to satisfy consumer demand for a star-crossed lovers story, or at least for some personal story between them.
