[ At least he knows how to be nice in his typical way. Or maybe he's actually nice this time around? Being told he appreciates her...

She's noticeably nicer herself after he says that. And maybe, just maybe, she's more willing to accept his fussiness. Just know she wouldn't normally do this! If he hadn't touched her cheek all cute-like, he wouldn't have gotten this privilege! ]

[ He gets a conk since she's about to get off him anyway. If that gets her suplexed onto her comfy reading chair, so be it. ]

Just because you can stroll up to a gas pump and be good for...I dunno. A day? That doesn't mean you're cooler!

[ Another conk. May as well go hard or go home! ]
