Edward never does anything straight forwardly, either. [ Megamind said, not wanting to get into the babble of decaffeinated interludes -- sipping his coffee as if he might forestall another one. ] So he's could be operating on the assumption we'll work out something beneficial for all of us and is basically giving his blessing - or encouragement - or he's assuming I'll leave him for or some other nonsense.

I don't know. I can ask him later but he'll probably just tease me and never give a straight answer unless he wants to, which is fairly rare. He can't lie, but he can certainly spin you in circles verbally.

I adore him, but there's days I could throttle him, too. I suppose that's normal, though...

[ Because isn't that love? Loving because of one's faults, not despite them? Megamind's never sure. He keeps getting involved and screwing it up. ]
