You did... [Elizabeth smiles, blushes, and leans into Gai's hand.] Though there are some people who might argue that any man who wants the intimacy now and the commitment later doesn't have the truest intentions. But I reckon that if that was your aim, you would have stopped seeing me a while ago.
[Something occurs to her and she frowns slightly.] What do you suppose being married will do to how we are now? Are we going to be more serious? I always figured that if I were to be married, I'd be much older than I am now, and probably more serious about life in general. And Jack and Eugene told me this horrible thing about how in their world, marriage is like signing some kind of contract, and it's a legal agreement between two people. It sounds like two people can't just be married because they love one another, they have to think about money and, and laws and bizarre things that have nothing to do with love. That isn't going to be us, is it?
