"Okay," Wilbur said. Oh he was relieved. He was so bad with women it had turned into a very weird hang-up, but Nancy's reassurance made him feel better. When she punched him he grinned and grabbed her, yanking her into his lap and wrapping his longs arms around her to trap her.
"Di'n't mean to," he said gruffly, "Jus' ain't real sure on th'protocols. S'a real weird situation, but I was too bowled over t'ask what th'heck was goin' on. I guess her uh.. boyfriend or somethin' is in town, but he decided he ain't goin'?"
Wilbur shook his head. Now that they had that out of the way, he could speak more frankly.
"I'm a lil' worried he's gonna turn up an' make a fuss," he said, "Hopefully not, though."
