I think you should try and win. Imagine the rewards you will be blessed with, if you do.
Perhaps if you are my secret lover, inside is a bad idea. Instead, maybe you will have to bed me amongst the orange trees.

If you have to stop drinking, other people in your vicinity might have to. I will defend your honour to make sure that doesn't happen.
What if it is just a way to make sure we can continue to do some good? I think I could stand to live that long if it's worth it. We saw Copley's boards, you know we do some right.

Being your husband is the greatest treasure this life has been able to give me.
You in a tux is high on that list as well, though. Il mio bellissimo angelo.

Do you still have that journal to keep track of all our weddings? I should like to know where we must celebrate the anniversaries,when we can.
I'm happy to delight. If I'm in a tuxedo, I might as well offer you anything else you might want. Any requests?

Of course I do, habibi. It's always in the bottom of my bag, just in case we need to add another to the list.
Do you remember the first one?
All I need is you to look at me the way you did then when I first called you 'Husband'. That secret, private ceremony, for just us. The first of many times I tied myself to you for eternity.

In that case, let's bring it out again to add a new one. This time, I will wear a tuxedo and you can call me husband in front of a small gathering, maybe in a nice little villa.
I don't remember the details of the first, but I remember you. I remember the name 'husband' from your lips for the first time and thinking to myself that this is what I was meant to be.

It was long ago. Illegal and secret. I can't remember as much as I should, but I remember you in such a fine outfit. I remember Andy doing that ancient ceremony for us.
And I remember calling you husband and you calling me the same. And everything was how it was destined to be.
I thought I loved you desperately, then. I don't know how I have room for it all in my body but I swear to you, my love, it grows every day.

Most of the best things we did were illegal and secret, Joe, but that's what made them fun. I remember only you. I remember calling you my husband, and I remember how I felt that night.
It grows in me, too. You make a space every morning with a new kiss, I think. And I love you for it. It makes me so proud to be the man you love, and it's why I want to do good and right, because I want to earn all your adoration.

There is nothing you need to do in order to have my devotion. You've laid claim to every inch of it from our first moments. There is nothing you could do to be free of it, now.
My husband. Then, now, and forever.

Sometimes I wonder what my old, past self would think if he could see the future and you beside me. I know it would be hateful... But there is a part of me that thinks, even then, I would be awed by you.
I at least remember finding you handsome in that first battle. It wasn't the main thought on my mind but it was there.

I think maybe he would only be a little jealous and maybe lonely. Everyone deserves love, even your old self.
You thought me handsome? Even with hate in my eyes and that awful beard on my face? I thought you like an angel. Filled with grace and fury and so attractive.

Normally I might say I'd die before I let that happen, but that seems a little off colour now.
[ there's another long pause and nicky would be right to wonder if she wasn't going to answer at all. ]
You find something new to keep fighting for. [ another pause, shorter this time ] And you get really fucking drunk for the next 20 to 50 years.

Even with that terrible beard. It made you stand out.
And I find it hard to believe I could look so angelic splattered with blood. And yet, I would never doubt you.
Astounding that it still took us so long to stop killing each other and so long on top of that to start loving each other.

Priests were not asked to be very fashionable. I think it had more patches than my tunic did by the end.
You are forgetting my angels could be vicious heralds of war, my love. You were an angel.
It may have taken long to love, but it was not long at all before I felt the lust.

Your angels. No wonder we were destined to be.
And the lust. That makes sense.
Still, I have to wonder why I was the one to make the first move, then? Shy, habibi?

I love it when you talk about destiny with me.
I was a priest and you were an incredible smart, handsome merchant who I killed, many times. I was still working up the courage and learning your language, I think I should be excused for not lying on top of you and kissing you immediately.

Excused, certainly. But I expect to be adequately compensated.
Although, the look on your face when I finally kissed you was priceless. I think you might have had a heart attack.
Good thing we are immortal.

And how many kisses will I owe you in compensation?
I was shocked that my dreams could come true and the man of my dreams could somehow be kissing me. Maybe I even did have a little shocked heart attack, which is why I'm glad you kissed me a second time.
The first couldn't have been very good.

It was incredible. I don't know why you would think otherwise.
There you were, looking so gorgeous in the candlelight. And then looking as though someone had just stabbed you when I leaned in for a kiss.
And I would know that particular expression.
