If people are going to think it's weird that I come here by myself so often, they're gonna think it regardless of my feelings for you. As long as my dad thinks it's because of the magic thing, we're good. I mean, sure, he'll think it's because my crush too, but mostly the magic thing. At least for you.

That's not really how I work. I spent ten years in love with Lydia. Once I'm into someone, I'm in it for the long haul and everyone knows that. Besides, I'm not sure I want everyone thinking I have some sort of weird thing for older men. It's bad enough my dad thinks I'm stalking you.
