"Pet, you should really know my mind was never changed in the bloody first place. I don't come from a time where you and I were bad- okay, okay, maybe we started rocky but we were good when I got whisked away. I'm a little frustrated by what you've said but I can't have you this close and feel this way and not do something 'bout it. It's a ponce I'd be if I just let you go, so let's leave it at that, yeah?"
Pete was going to be chaffed about things. It was just how it would be. He couldn't listen to her say she found someone else better than him and not be, but then again he really couldn't just have her be so willing to be with him and not take the chance to have that.
So he kissed her again, lighter, at the corner of her mouth, and he nuzzled his nose gently against hers.
