When does one become, no longer a teenager, but an adult? I heard the drinking of wine will in the future be restricted to those older than eighteen, so does wine make an adult?

And what other licenses are given to someone with eighteen years? I should like to try them all.

He might. We've been together a few years, now, and neither of us want to be with anyone else.

Then, see, he has no reason for concern.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah. Try telling him that, though. I have a feeling that no matter what happens he'll still be worried that I'm gonna leave...

The paranoia must grow dull.

It's just how he is. [she smiles] I think he's sometimes still surprised I'm with him in the first place.
