York's mouth twitched, "Can I make a suggestion?"

"Could you maybe soften your tone when talking to me? We're a couple, not enemies. You know, my mom would worry." "Worry about what?"

"Worry about her son being bullied by you!"

York felt numb all over: "Actually... maybe keep the edge. It's better that way."

York: "Not edgy, not at all."
