Whatever that may entail. [He shifts unconsciously.] So... I guess that's more like a 'yes with an if and no with a but'?
[He chuckles off his own attempt at levity, his smile falling away. It's a while before he continues.]
...This isn't easy for me. [He chews the inside of his cheek.] And yet, this is everything I ever wanted; you have done everything right.
