"YOU TWO ARE SO BORING TOGETHER" Joe complained. He didn't seem to realize this is what happens when two antisocial people are shoved together and forced to talk.
Izzy ruffled Valddy's hair, then said to him, "You know, looking at us, we couldn't be more different. You're smart and sweet and kind of shy, and I'm... well... me. But we go together."
"Why wouldn't I love you?" Vlad asked, "You're perfect. And I could ask you the same thing. You've certainly had the opportunity to chose someone else. But you didn't."
"Because... after having to pretend to be engaged to, and almost fake marry Gabriel, I realized what I really wanted. I wanted someone who would let me be myself, and not confine me. And someone who actually appreciates what I say. I love you so much, and we've been friends forever, you know." She reached out and took his hand.
