"I haven't done that since like second year!"

"They've all learned to stop trying to talk to you."

He does not think he has lost anything at all as a result. He doesn't say that. "I don't care who your parents are, Miranda."

"Then I will fly the Channel with you."

They fly the Channel that weekend. It's pretty. 

It is!

Miranda's pretty.

Yes.

"- the reason I'm never free Christmas or Boxing Day is I go see my dad then."

"What's he like?"

"He's great - he'd probably like to meet you and Karen now that you know, I tell him what I'm up to -"

"I'd like that a lot and I bet Karen would too."

"Do you think you can avoid being obvious to Timothy in case he doesn't already know -"

"Probably. Why are you worried about him knowing, you have way more to blackmail him with than vice versa even if he were horrible -"

"I don't think a blackmail contest would end well!"

"I just don't know what you're worried happens if Timothy guesses."

"I'm not specifically, it could just - only get out once."

"Well, I will endeavor to have lots of other plausible explanations for all my activities and emotional states."

"I'm really sorry I upset you."

"I'm really sorry you thought I would care about blood purity."

"I didn't have great information on that and I knew it I just wanted to be really conservative -"

Nod. "...I wrote my father less than a month into first year and I said you had good ideas on the charms experiments and were smart and came up with an Igbo alphabet and was that how one identified the person they were going to marry. And he said yes pretty much but I should, uh, wait and see if I wanted to kiss you, also."

"- a month?"

"You're pretty great!!"
