Gertrude smiled, relieved. This conversation had gone well. While obviously they couldn't wait forever, it felt good to know that Walt was happy to wait for now. All her worries melted away. She felt so silly for having been so awkward about it all earlier.

She once again closed the gap between them and grasped his hands in hers. "I love you so much." she told him sweetly, smiling up at him.
