Oh gosh, I'm not worried. It's kinda nice just running straight into Thanksgiving and Christmas and birthdays. Like the universe knows we could use a little somethin' nice, dealing with all this nonsense at our age.

I am!! I can't wait!! Should I bring her something? Is that weird? ~~I've never dated a guy with ki~~

As long as it's not too much for you! I don't wanna scare you off!

Nah, it's all right, she's in her 20s. She'll love you! She's already a big Edgar fan, so she might just ask you for stories.

I'm REMARKABLY hard to scare when there's a guy with big brown eyes concerned.

Oh good, THAT is something I can provide! [...] I'm maybe just a little nervous. Because I've never dated a guy with a kid before. But I'm only a LITTLE nervous, because she's your daughter and I know that means she's great!!

~~Are you sure it's not too~~ Don't worry, she's very nice! And she's an adult, so there's no pressure to be like, a step-parent or anything, I promise!

I believe you!! I hope I didn't get you all worried about anything!! I just can't help but get excited (and maybe daydream about you a little) every time I know I'm gonna see you again.

Right back at you! I can't wait to see you again. I wish we didn't live so far apart (and with so many zombies in the middle)!

[...] You ever think about the whole supercommunity idea that some folks sorta floated before the Summit started?

[...] Yeah, do you?

I do! Maybe it's the city slicker in me looking to rebuild the old world. Or maybe I just wish everyone was close and safe, behind the same walls. [...] Plus it'd be nice to not need an excuse to drop in and see you.

Yeah, all that sounds great! [...] I have this cute little fantasy where I have a cute little house and I make you a cute little dinner using ingredients from my cute little garden. Maybe I'm just a cute little country doctor, or something. You know, in the future someday.

I haven't even let myself think about the future in months (at LEAST). But [...] I like thinking about one like that. I like your cute little fantasy.

Wonder how many other people have even given serious thought to the idea.

I don't know! I'm not sure how many people'd go for it? Or maybe people would just pretend they hate the idea but secretly like it?

All I know is it'd be nice to have some privacy.

Maybe I can bring it up again at the next meeting!! (I'll leave the cute domestic fantasies out...)

I've almost forgotten what it's like to get real privacy. There's a thrill to getting snatches of it here and there, but... sometimes you wanna snuggle in peace.

Maybe coming from you, people would like it!

Important question: do you like being the big spoon or the little spoon?

At the least I've got just OODLES of public speaking experience to trick people into thinking they like what I'm saying!

Big spoon. I'm too restless to be the little spoon!! ~~Which was hard because Holt w~~ You??

You do! And you've got charisma to spare! I think I might rub people the wrong way sometimes.

Ooooooooh, you know what? That's perfect, because I always had to be the big spoon when I secretly always wanted to be the little one.

Really?? I guess I was immediately blinded to anything like that.

I'm real good at big spooning too. You'll feel so snug and safe and secure, a good night's sleep is GUARANTEED!!

You'd be surprised how many people hated my check-up idea.

Oh, that sounds like a dream! This is all I want for Christmas now, in fact!

You know my brother was always weird about going to doctors and whatnot?? Might be something about health and masculinity butting heads way too much.

I can do SO much more than that, but it's good to know that if nothing else turns out right, I can just whisk you away somewhere private.

Yeah, definitely. Plus, y'know, everyone here being traumatized and trying to put on a brave face.

A proper snuggle could fix me, I think!

Trauma? I don't know her, never even heard the name.

Then snuggling you sounds like it's actually a moral prerogative!! Do I need to expedite the shipping??

Well, you're fine, but the rest of us them are all messed up!

Good things take time, but I'm willing to wait as long as it takes!

~~Oh I'm pre~~ Wo I guess it's clinging to the last little bit of denial you can grant yourself. Personally I think the checkups are a noble thing!

Maybe I should practice first. So I'm up to snuff by Christmas!!

I try the denial thing, but I just look more unhinged! I can't help it if I've got crazy eyes!

I wouldn't say no to that! I'm a great guinea pig!

The next Summit meeting is the day after tomorrow. And then it's Thanksgiving.

I'm just trying to remind myself that I don't got long to wait to see you, and there's no need to fake a medical emergency quite yet.
