Daniel is so cute it's unreal. This? Made me laugh because it's so him: “Mission: Dazzle Betty Into Falling In Love”

Ha, the STD thing made me laugh. And so did the fact that Daniel trips on Nyquil (so do I, to be honest!). I also really loved his thoughts about how caring for Molly during her cancer made him feel like he was being self-indulgent with the Mr. Sickington thing. Molly did face her cancer really bravely, and it makes sense that he grew from that experience.

Chocolate pudding! LOLed so much over that. My sick food is Nutella. I will eat it with a spoon when I'm under the weather.

And of course Betty will still care for him when he's sick. :) How sweet is she for coming over?

The words slipped out: “I adore you.”

MORE feedback! My cup runneth over.

Daniel really could be a bit of a baby when he got sick -- but then, most of us get a little babyish when we feel bad. And as much as Molly's example would have encouraged him to man up, that doesn't mean he wouldn't need (and appreciate) a little of Betty's TLC from time to time.

I have pudding. Just wanted to share.

Hee, I love reviewing your stuff. You always give the reviewer so much to pick out and squee over. :)

I agree, and I think Betty's always going to be the type to want to take care of the people around her. It's just part of her loving personality. Honestly, no wonder Daniel is crazy about her--she's a total gem.

I can haz some e-pudding?

I will now fax you chocolate pudding with the amazing FOOD FAX (patent pending, as in, pending its invention).
