[Lovely. A fine word. He’ll take it, thank you.]

Good to affirm you’re a man of taste. Distinction.

But now that I've stolen a few kind compliments from your own equally beguiling lips, back to our earlier topic of conversation— I do hope you weren't attempting to sidestep it, otherwise I'll feel simply monstrous for continuing to pick at old wounds.

You see, I'm genuinely curious to know what swayed your pretty little heart to this cause in the first place.
