You don't have to. We're not the same person. We don't have to want the same things. But, we do have to talk. Much as I like when we ( he nudges her nose with his. ) don't.

( get it? )

We don't have to rush anything. But, we do have to talk about it if I take this post, okay?

( and then... they don't before Thanksgiving, oops. )

[She nods, before leaning in to kiss him.]

We will. When your mother is not around threatening to eavesdrop.

[She loves her, so she says that with the gentlest amount of love.]

And for what it's worth, I think you should take it. We'll have to see how the rest of the council feels about me, but I think you're the best option Cami has.

Think if you don't eliminating the other factions, they'll deal. If there's pushback, we can -- figure something out.

( This will be complicated.

He kisses her forehead, looks behind them and then leans in close, speaking low in her ear.
)

I love you, you idiot.

I love you too.

[She closes her eyes at the forehead kiss and nods.]

And I'm sorry.

I'm not. Not for a second. Even --

( He stops. )

Ma, we'll be in for dessert. Shoo.

( A door slams, something (someone) scampers. Suddenly, many male voices. He shakes his head and steps back. )

We'll figure it all out, okay?

We will.

[She never doubted that for a moment. And she wasn't lying when she says there's nothing she wants more more than the life that comes after.]

C'mon. Let's go have dessert before your brothers eat it all without us.

Like she didn't order enough for the entire block.

( He feels... better enough. But he needs her to say more. And to compromise. Or at least ... get him to understand everything better. Something. He backs off. He doesn't want her sad or hurt.

And he is so mad at her family all over again.
