-When she leaves for Raji's kingdom, she asks Zen for something of his to take with her. He gives her his watch and we literally see her putting the watch around her neck every time she dresses. I even found it punctured her fashion sense because the strap for the watch is black and throws off her outfit to me.
-The night before the ball, we see her on her bed holding the watch in her hand and looking forlorn because she has to more days in Raji's kingdom away from Zen. How much more obvious could that be that she's missing Zen.
-When she's on the pirate ship and the boat started taking off from the shore, we see her softly crying when her shoulders are shaking from behind and she whispers Zen's name.
-when Kiki told her that Zen came for her to taker home she begins to cry. Even at that point Katzuki realizes that his actions were wrong to kidnap her.
-When she wakes up on the pirate ship and realized the danger she was in, while she was under the covers she grabs her chest thinking that Zen's watch was hanging around her neck and then remembers that she dropped it during the kidnapping. So why exactly was she reaching for his watch? Could it be because she was trying to find comfort for her fear while holding on to his watch?
-When she reunited with Zen she finally breaks down and begin to cry in his arms.
-When Zen bids her goodnight at her father's place in the mountain, she grabs on to him and asks him to stay with her longer.
-when Katzuki asks her to stay with the Lions in the mountain she promptly tells him no and her place is in Clarines.
-Even Shirayuki's dad recognizes she's in love with Zen.
-When she finds out that Zen had a marriage interview she said her heart started racing.
-she cries when she asks Zen if it's okay if she thinks that she can be by his side in the future.
There are still a lot more moments that clearly show that Shirayuki loves Zen. I can understand if their romance doesn't excite you but at least be honest with what the anime convey. Shirayuki does not have to go around saying "I Love You, Zen" all the time in order to convey her love for Zen. It is clearly shown in her story and interactions with him. Her heart races when she's in his arms and she misses him when he's not there with her. The two clearly love each other very much and have a good relationship. And the beautiful thing is that no matter what tests they face their relationship remains strong.
And as much as some want Shirayuki to become OOC and run off with Obi, the fact is even with Shirayuki and Zen separated for two years and Obi by her side, absolutely nothing romantic has occurred between Obi and her. It's not even on her radar. I love that she's not some capricious shoujo heroine who doesn't know what she wants.
