This couldn't possibly be the real Pietro, she decided with a small smile. The real Pietro never thought about anything for a long time, he thought faster than anyone else and came to decisions in the blink of an eye. She knew him better than anyone and he was obviously really serious about this. Even if she'd felt differently, if she loved him at all she had no choice but to give her blessing. This wasn't something she could be selfish about; it was Pietro's life, not hers, and it was Pietro's happiness that mattered above anything else. His answer was enough. She pulled his face in for another kiss to his cheek and then let him go with a nod that held a strange finality. She wasn't the most important person in his life anymore and that was fine.
"Pietro, If I'd hated her I would have told you a long time ago, you know that. Honestly, I don't think you'd ever do better. You don't deserve someone willing to put up with you," she laughed, teasing him.
