Oh good, he did propose then. Thought I'd have to kick him to get him to admit it.

I think she'd like you. I mean, she wouldn't show it, because she's Janine and emotions are not a thing that she does. And she's not here. And things are a mess at home when it comes to Simon. But I don't think she'd want you to feel bad for it. She's not that kind of person. I keep trying to tell him hat she... she forgave him, at the end. As much as she could. Don't think he believes me, but she did.
