[ Tosh and Lisbeth; things that Megamind doesn't want to think about, ever, thank you. Alpha was just being Alpha, though-- he knows he's got no place to say anything, which... is why he doesn't let on that he even knows. ]

[ But he realizes what she's asking; is there room enough for all three of us in this. That there could be is even the most wild, out there thing ever. ]

You know this is the stuff that Letters to Penthouse is made up of, you know? And God, I am so glad he was not in the room for that phrase slipping my mouth. [ Megamind isn't a prude, per se, but he prefers people not-- know certain things about him, his upbringing, that he knew about a lot of things long before anyone was supposed to. ] 'So this wonderful woman, my fantastic ex, wants into something with me and my boyfriend...'

[ And then he puts pancake in his mouth before he follows that train of thought too deep into the tunnel there, and chews, swallows. ]

I-- love you. I miss you. I just-- I just can't put any of us in a place where this can go poorly to for the both of you. I want--

--I want--

--I want to see you both walk out of here, under your own volition, and go home, or where-ever it is you're going to go. More than anything. There are days I lay here and go, 'If he leaves the boat, I'm going to, deal or no deal.' And Tosh, I really want my deal.

But for him-- and for you-- I'd say 'no, this is enough', if you both left.

[ And this is what Edward ran away from: that someone is willing to feel that strongly, that much, about him -- or anyone else. ]

So... yes. I wouldn't say I don't want to ask. But I want to be sure-- I don't want to get hurt again.

[ Love is easy. ]

[ Trust is harder. ]

[ But there's a willingness to try again. ]
