Oh aye? I ken those...somewhat. it took me longer to hit that stage but i kent early enough i just...wishful thinking and denile were... Well it's one hell of a drug is the way to put it Id think.
but the pair of you, since you got there i mean...
You were around for me when i was dealing with the after effects of That Man on my life and then when Thea had to deal with them too. When the one person you trust most ditches you (my case) or is completely negligent, then gets booted out (hers), it fucks with you, but...
you were THERE for us both when we needed you most and you stuck around and...
you know, being honest: I was terified of the pair of you being together. Thought I would lose my apprentice and my mate but instead you two have stuck around for me and thats made everything seem so much better.
seeing how you are with my apprentice...how you being around cheered her up as much as it did me...there's something special about that, and being around the pair of you when i was going through the realising i needed out of my OTHER relationship too...seeing how things SHOULD be...
It helped to see that and be around that and the fact you two didnt ditch me...I fully expected it to happen not on purpose but on acident but you made so sure it didnt....that was an amazing look at, you know, what love is.
It's been pretty epic watching you two get to where you are. Love you, bro.
