"Hey," he says, smile disappearing as he reaches for Veronica again, taking both her hands in his. "This is not about taking you on as if you are both some kind of chore. I understand that there are responsibilities if you and Sam were to move in and I'm prepared for that, but that isn't why I'm asking. I am asking because I want to live with you. With both of you."
A little girl hadn't been part of the original plan -- although there'd really been no original plan that far back, just a vague idea of what he'd one day like -- but even so, he's happy to adapt. Happy to help Veronica as much as she needs and happy to take direction from her where he knows he needs to learn.
