"I don't meant to... I.. it isn't fair if you do all the changing, and I do none..."

"You think you haven't changed for me?" He picks her up bout the waist and whirls her about perhaps catching her off guard, oh she could squirm free but "Did I not just decide to paint an entire wall?

"Aye. I think I want that. Marriage, aye?"
