And then they set fire to a haunted house and he saved them both from emotional torture and she carried him back here and he made her food despite being exhausted and she let him bite her and she was watching her phone for days, waiting. ]
But this sure as hell isn't a casual dress. And I didn't race out nearly to the lava fields to grab those peppers on a whim. And I don't offer to go to everyone's world and help them with their troubles.
If you want casual, if that's what you're comfortable with, then okay. If that's all you think I could ever want, I know that's not true. But I also think that it's nothing that should be hashed out now... I just didn't want you believing I had my mind made up.
