Husband: Hey you made me swear the night of the party I’d be down to help with these things

Husband: Namely body burial

Husband: Forgive me for assuming

Wife: moments after that i also asked you ( a gay man ) to marry me ( a lesbian )

Wife: i don’t know if i was exactly coherent at the time

Wife: i appreciate the sentiment anyway

Wife: but i didn’t quite fuck up like that

Wife: you know Lily Evans

Wife: now she thinks i pity her

Wife: she’s one of the smartest people i know

Husband: Pan you did nothing wrong

Husband: You were being considerate

Husband: Maybe she just doesn’t like to talk about things

Husband: This isn’t the great damning situation you built it up to be for starts

Husband: If it’s bothering you, you could talk to her

Wife: i don’t think she’d really want to talk to me

Husband: Then she’s much less smart than you give her credit for

Wife: awwwww

Wife: you’ve gone soft

Husband: You take that back

Wife: nope Regulus Black is a big softy

Wife: for me

Wife: what an honour

Husband: At least you can appreciate the specialty
