[Thank god there's a place to sit, because Theodore feels a lot like bolting and just plain getting out of the town if it meant the complicated workings that is his life now can just stop, and that he doesn't have to do things like this. Instead, he sits, grounding himself and trying not to let his nerves show. A little hard to do so when his hands don't want to stop gripping his knees like they're the only things keeping him there.]
Mrs. Howlett... Your daughter is - She's great. She's really, really awesome, probably the coolest girl I've ever met. She's funny, ambitious, really clever and loving... she's a good person to be with.
[He takes in a deep breath, then lets it out slowly, trying to keep the shakiness out of his voice.]
She deserves way better than me. She deserves someone who's perfect for her, someone who loves her with his whole heart. Someone who can give her everything she's dreamed of.
