Okay, he's happy! It's been so long since I saw him this happy! That's why kissed me.
Right. I did it.
Well, it's not like he's ever been so happy he's done THAT before. But it's the same sort of thing.
I kissed her.
Just don't… Don't read too much into this. He's happy and was just expressing that, like the time he waltzed CJ around the bullpen
I kissed her and she's not freaking out.
I mean… He's just happy. He doesn't mean anything by it. He can't mean anything by it.
Or yelling at me.
He's just… Why is he looking at me like that?
That's encouraging.
He's looking at me like… He's never looked like… Why is..?
So maybe she'll let me do that again…
Oh my dear Lord! He DOES mean it.
