Right — Monday's mine then, in pen, not on a list I'd lose behind the Rice Krispies. And the mousetrap's still holding its cheese, so you're not the only one keeping something going that isn't working.

Mousetrap's a fair point, I'll give you that one. But I need a real answer, not a joke with cheese in it — do you actually want this, the nursery and the money and the Monday, or am I arranging a life you're agreeing to?
Algy

I want it — and I'll say the true thing since we're further than I planned: some nights I'm on the internet at midnight reading about this, and you're asleep, and I've got nobody to tell. Monday's mine, the $870's ours, and that's not me agreeing to your life, that's me in it.
