Hannah and I have a bit of a bet on. You see, there's this couple. Well they're not a couple yet, but circumstance make us feel that they should be. Really should be. Anyway, they've been dancing around actually getting into a relationship for various reasons: Her baggage, his worries, her heart, his pride, and so on and so on. Really if you look

It's basically breaking my heart, too, Ern. But it's that baggage you're talking about. I don't know how to get rid of it. I almost don't want to. Because it's Seamus. And I don't ever fully want to get rid of him. Yeah. I can move on. I know I can. But he's forever going to be there. Because, even if he wasn't dead, you don't just forget your first love. You don't.

I don't mean to make you and Hannah sad. I don't mean to tie anyone up in my emotions who doesn't have to be there.

Yeah...

I'm glad you enjoy living over here. It's nice to see you two so happy together all the time. Reminds me of the some of the things worth staying around for.

Susan, I would never want you too. I'm sorry if that's how it sounded. He was too good a bloke to be forgotten and I know you will never forget him. It would be an insult to his memory and you loved him. Love him. I get that. And I'm sure a certain someone does too. I don't want you to replace Seamus and what he meant to you and I know you'll move on when you feel ready. I just want to see you happy.

And don't you worry about us. We care for you and are here for you, whatever you choose to do.

It's wonderful having my two main ladies around. I could just be the luckiest guy in England.

Am I laying it on a bit thick?

But he already said that he's getting over it. So I have nothing to move on to.

I love you two.

I think you're laying it on perfectly. *smiles* We're lucky to have you around.

You know as well as I do, what he thinks one minute may not be what he believes in another. You're not the kind of woman one 'gets over' overnight, if I may say so. I think things were said with the intent to distance your heart from something that is causing you grief in order to keep that heart from hurting. As misguided as I think it is, he's trying to protect you. Shows he cares, doesn't it?

Love you too, Sus.

I do believe I am the lucky one. Or we can call it a tie and call us all lucky.
