Connor has deep feelings for Brook he hasn't experienced for anyone else. He's noticed how friendly and caring she is for him vs everyone else. He's fallen for everything about her, except her yelling. It reminds him too much of his father. At first he would coward somewhere when she'd start yelling at someone (Alex) but since they became closer, Connor has been able to confront her about her behaviors. She has since relaxed and scolds more often than screams.
Brook has a lot of sympathy for Connor. She wouldn't yell at him because she knows hes obviously got a deeply rooted fear of it and something terrible must have happened to him. She began talking to him more frequently to understand him, and finding out about his past made her feel more and more sorry for him. Through their bonding, she began to develop feelings for him. When Connor would confront her about her yelling, she toned it down to just scolding (except when Connor isn't there).
