thinking about how mickey got all pretty to go find ian. how he had multiple shirt options laid out on the bed. probably trying them on and fussing with them while he looked in the mirror. how he showered and put cologne on and tucked his shirt in.

He tells her he does not want to give up his feelings, even when they are a source of pain for him. Which, by the by, is why I think he marries her, despite him not knowing what sort of marriage they will even have after the Lady Whistledown reveal.
