I love this line: "You learn to appreciate the oddest things about a person when you love them." The ending is great.

When he "tells her why"--what does he say? That he thinks it pretty or all the rest of this? I don't mean that you should add more dialogue, but wonder how expansive you imagine him being.

This seems like a nice counterpoint to the "you look spiffy" comment from Laura to Bill in the extended "weed scene." I love in the beginning of that scene that she is just enjoying looking at him, that is a treat to her to see him "spiffy." So tender, both of these moments.

I imagined him just saying "Because you have nice arms" or something like that, rather than explaining all of this. I don't think they really go in much for over-expansive discussions about things like this. It's all left unspoken, and just comes across in looks and body language. I imagine her just looking at him with this kind of "Uhuh, right, whatever" look on her face, and then giving him that little indulging smile she has.

Not that I thought about this too much, or anything ... ;)

Thank you :)
