[dishearten]

You're making the new mother of fifteen much more tempting, I won't lie to you.

[sheriffing]

You'd miss me.

[dishearten]

I miss you right now, even if you're being quite cruel. And I don't think you have a very good reason, but I could be wrong.

[sheriffing]

I'm pretty sure you already know I love you.

[dishearten]

I know. Haven't hit that point where I don't like hearing you say it, though.

It's possible I never will. You might need to come to terms with it.

[sheriffing]

You're so demanding, I should have broken my leg the day I married you.

[Casually ignoring the fact that once they got to the hotel room, she almost did.]

[dishearten]

if that's a saying, it's a new and rather confusing one

( also why would anyone say that... Colloquialisms are so strange. )

[sheriffing]

Or an old and totally legitimate one.

[dishearten]

old or not, I like you best in good health. nothing broken.

( he doesn't even need to be with her in person for that to come off stone cold serious. )

[sheriffing]

I love you, Graham.

[dishearten]

I love you too. I won't make you stay up until four to hear it in person, but I'll probably want a reminder by the time I manage to wake up.

[sheriffing]

You don't have to make me, I already set the alarm.

[dishearten]

things like that are why I know you love me, though when it results in you waking up at four I've got to wonder why.

I'll see you as close to four as I possibly can. I promise.

[sheriffing]

Wonder what the odds are of taking the dogs out at four instead of six.

It's okay, Perdita needs you. I get it.

[dishearten]

I'd say fairly good, especially if you wait until I get home. And then when they're back inside I can take you back to bed.

Not Perdita. Can you imagine how despondent Pongo would be if he missed it?

[sheriffing]

It's a plan. We'll see how they do with it.

Fifteen dalmatian puppies says Perdita might have made her own deal here, Graham.

[dishearten]

if I can survive 5am, surely they can too.

it's coincidence, I assure you. the new mother's name is Daisy, and I did ask.

[sheriffing]

Do you have another fifteen flower names to match?

[dishearten]

no. they don't have names, yet.

( but he concedes flower names are a good idea. )

[sheriffing]

What about homes?

[dishearten]

no, not yet
have fifteen friends in need of puppies?

[sheriffing]

No, but I have two puppies in need of friends.

[dishearten]

it's possible for them to have new puppy friends without us getting a new puppy
you do realize that, right?

[sheriffing]

I do. I want to bring them over when I meet them.

[dishearten]

well, I suppose that'd be acceptable. they are certainly not too young to start making friends.
