What's that?

[getintomyplants]

I made a promise.

[extremities]

... To Jean.

[getintomyplants]

Yes.

[extremities]

I see.

[getintomyplants]

She loves you. But you knew that.

[extremities]

Everyone loves Jean.

[getintomyplants]

Jean doesn't love everyone. Oh, perhaps she cares about them. Doesn't like to see them in pain. But she doesn't love them. Not the same way.

[extremities]

... I know.

[getintomyplants]

What, then?

[extremities]

It's not my place to say.

[getintomyplants]

Whose is it, then?

[extremities]

Who do you think?

[getintomyplants]

If I had to guess? Jean's.

You know I could make you tell me.

[extremities]

You probably could.

But would you?

[getintomyplants]

If it was important enough, you'd tell me anyway.

Or am I wrong?

[extremities]

I wonder. I have many obligations. And I do know when to shut up.

[getintomyplants]

Let me try it this way. If you thought I could do something, and it was important, you'd find a way to get the information across.

[extremities]

That's true enough.

[getintomyplants]

Mmmmmm. I thought so.

[and she's coming closer and reaching up to brush her fingers along his cheek]

[extremities]

[stiffens involuntarily]

[getintomyplants]

[well, now she's letting her hand linger]

Frightened, Scott?

[extremities]

No. I'm always tense.

[getintomyplants]

You don't ever relax?

[extremities]

Not really.
