No. It might take me longer, I suppose, but then again it was always bound to take me longer.
[ it's the kind of description jens expects, really. the what's he/she like? question is one his favorites, because people always jump to answer it, exuberant. ]

( they were in a relationship before then, even though for some of those months Emma had not been happy to say so. )
complicated, and more than one request. I had to ask for more once I arrived, which I imagine most don't.
