So we'll just leave that creepy dreamland in our rear view mirrors, right? [He gives her a soft little smooch as he talks, some of those disarming kisses he likes to employ in-between rambling, in the hopes it's distracting her from noticing him rambling.] And as long as you like being around me, I'm happy!
