Don't you dare. You can tell? Lois... there are always emergencies, 24/7. I steal time for myself when I can, when I feel I have to, but do not start to tell me I am running away.
We both misunderstood, and you aren't ready and I mis-spoke. What else is there to say, other than I understand, and I love you, and I am willing to wait as long as you need?
