human
Yes, you did break through. At first it was just a kiss and the--oh, it was _the_ kiss, and there wasn't anything else. Oh, do let me live in the little garden still.

Trust me, dear.

I will trust you. Come. I must go down now.

Can I come to see you?
human

Any time you'd like to marry me--I don't advise it, I guess I'd have good intentions, but be a darn poor hand at putting up shelves--but any time you'd like to marry me, or any of those nice conventional things, just lemme know, will you?
