Re: Ernie and Hannah
"Of course she knows. All I have to do is say your name and Mum's got some flowers and usually a dish of shepherd's pie ready with your name on it. And I think that's the only time Dad will ever talk to me these days, to ask how you're doing." But then, Ernie's dad probably still hoped Ernie would one day 'get over this phase' and marry Hannah, which was not going to happen.
Ernie's eyes widened with a nearly dreamy expression at the idea Hannah presented before quickly shaking it off. "Nah, Seamus is like me and wouldn't dream of shagging a woman. I meant find him a bloke, and someone else for Susan. They each need different things anyway. Sue can take either a shag or something more, but Seamus need someone long-term to love and understand him. And I figured that would be win-win - if Dean's jealous and that works out, then win, but if Seamus likes the bloke and wants to keep him, then that's a win too." He then went a little sheepish under her gaze. "Right?"
