Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

...Honey?

I think that’s probably kind of inevitable, isn’t it?

[She smiles and pinches his cheek] Perhaps. Now shoo and go talk to her before I tell her that she makes you shine like a light bulb.

...Honey?

[Smiles shyly] Maybe a little.

I think it's adorable. And look at who's starting to glow a little bit! You should calm that down before someone notices.

...Honey?

She’s… She’s independent and tough. She’s funny but sometimes too serious for her own good. She doesn’t see how special she is, but somehow that adds to her allure. And that smile… It could light up a room.

Sounds to me like someone is smitten with a perfect girl.

...Honey?

No, I guess not. I just… I really like her, mom.

I know, darling. But honestly, you've never told me about her. What's she like?

...Honey?

How’s that okay, mom? I don’t want her to think I’m stupid or overreacting or weird.

She might think that it is stupid, but not you. Anastasia doesn't seem like that kind of girl, does she? Come on now, Brendan.

...Honey?

What if she thinks it’s dumb?

Maybe she will, but that's okay.

...Honey?

So you don’t think it’s dumb?

Of course not. It makes sense. But maybe you should talk to her about it rather than him, hm?

...Honey?

I don’t know, I feel stupid for even mentioning it. He practically laughed when I brought it up.

That's a defense mechanism for assholes. They know they're in the wrong, so they laugh.

...Honey?

Ah, well then, that makes sense. Why didn't you just say that? I'm sure being less than gentlemanly is something he could put on his resume, but maybe he meant no harm.
