“I really should record Kai-chan so you can hear him. He’s stuck on him and doesn’t want to admit. He complains and complains then out of the blue he’ll be fine with him and even going as far as to compliment him.” She laughed and waved her hands. “He’s so stubborn, he needs some one like your boy who will continue to get under his skin and pursue him.”
“They’re such a handsome pair, too. I’ve seen secret photos. But it’s always, ‘Kuroba-kun did this,’ and ‘Kuroba-kun did that,’ along with frustrated ‘He’s so irritating I can hardly stand it!’ and yet…” Marion laughed again. “Oh, dear, they’re so darling. One of these days they’ll realize that they need each other…"
She sighed, leaning back in her chair, smile fond as she thought of it. "If he ever mentions a fondness to me directly, I will encourage relentless pursual, you have my word."
