Nae, I jus'... I need to know that ye won't. Nae again, an' ye ken that I'm nae talkin' 'bout when ye're at work or when ye're showerin' an' whatnot. Now, I- I'm nae sayin' that I'll give ye cause like that again, but God only knows I'm a screw-up, Meredith, an' all I've got ta offer ye is me best. I thought I was through wi' worryin' whether it'd be enough a long time ago, 'cause that's no feelin' t'build a marriage on. An' we've obviously got very different ideas 'bout what it meant when ye did it, but I need ye t'understand why it mattered. That's all."
