“Part of what is enticing about the duo is the fact that they are against each other,” Anderson said with a laugh to E! News. “At the same time they are for each other… It’s just too domestic a scenario to have it being that they live in the same house, and they go home every night to the same house while they’re doing The X-Files during the day. It leaves a much more intriguing and interesting dynamic to have us still maybe be in love and have that spark going, that question mark.

“I think at the end, I think at the very end they absolutely belong together, but it’s a long road,” Anderson added.
