"Except —" he started, but stopped. He'd been going to explain how her situation on Valentine's Day wasn't really quite so difficult as his had been, because she knew what was wrong the whole time and refused to tell him, but he thought better of it. Arguing about who'd been more put out by what had been a bad situation for both of them wouldn't help this conversation at all.
"You know I'd tell you anything, right?" he asked, voice quiet and sincere. "And I wouldn't lie to you."
MJ made the most Alfredy of sets and then two years later she made it EVEN BETTER
