"I can't..."

"What?"

"I can't believe you said that."

"Why not?"

"Because...I wasn't expecting it."

"So?"

"I wasn't ready."

"Look, I know you like things to be compartmentalized."

"Yes. I do."

"But you can't always get what you want."

"I'm not saying..."

"I should have expected this reaction."

"You think so?"

"I do know you pretty well."

"You caught me off guard."

"That's my favorite way to catch you."

"It's just..."

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything."

"This really isn't the place to do this."

"It's as good a place as any."

"I never thought it would be here, though."

"Oh, so you have thought about it?"

"It may have crossed my mind thirty or forty times."

"So what's the problem?"

"Are you using it as a distraction?"

"I would hope that you would know me better than that."

"I do know you. Which is why I'm asking."

"If I had known there would be this much debate about it..."

"I'm not saying I didn't like it, or I didn't want you to say it."

"Then what?"

"I'm freaking out, aren't I?

"Little bit, yeah."

"You like doing that."

"Making you freak out?"

"Taking control."

"Yeah."

"Wipe those dimples, you know what I meant."

"What did you mean?"

"Taking control of the situation."

"I'm just moving things along."

"Is that what you're doing?"

"It's a natural progression."

"I don't handle this stuff very well."

"I remember."

"And now...it's out there."

"It's been out there. Just not vocalized."

"I know."

"You don't have to say anything."

"I want to. I've been wanting to."

"I knew that."

"Of course you did."

"I know you."

"You do."

"So it's fine."

"Yeah."

"Good."

"I love you too."
