According to the covariation model, if the consensus and distinctiveness are high, but consistency is low, it is attributed to the situation. However, if the distinctiveness is high, but consensus and consistency are both high, it is attributed to the person. In this scenario, since the distinctiveness is high (Aline's love is specific to Carlos), and consensus is low (others do not feel the same way about Carlos), but consistency is high (Aline consistently loves Carlos), it suggests a person and situation interaction attribution, or a "magical" connection between Aline and Carlos.
