Malachi looked at Ben. "Taking it slow how?" he asked, unable to help himself with a smirk. "But hey, things are going good! Taking it slow is good..." Malachi didn't take things slow; he wouldn't know if going slowly was a good idea or a bad one. But he never regretted what he did, but maybe one thing and that was what he never got a chance to do again. In fact, Ben was the perfect candidate to take it slow, to make things serious at a slowly pace so not to screw it up. He was careful, wanting something more.
