Tony liked to think that things wouldn't be much different back where they came from -- but probably it would have in some ways. There were a lot of factors -- current wold climate was definitely one of them and yeah, his celebrity was another. Even if they were open and honest about things (which -- he was pretty sure they would have been) they'd probably be hounded and questioned constantly. Here it just was. And no one bothered them about it. It was quaint. Easy. Nice.
And sure. Sometimes a little overwhelming, too. But maybe that was just how love worked.
"Well," Tony said, feeling smug and pleased. "I guess we're both in agreement on that then. Good for me. It'd be really awkward at this point if you didn't."
