Ha! Stoic, me? -grins- It's a side of me most don't often see, but I can be very solemn, and it seems the pain of the slight and the fear of further rejection may have pulled it to the fore. Still, Suzannah herself is quite somber, and we (meaning I) are apt to assume the behaviors of my friends, when around them.

Or something.
We'll see if I'm actually glad I sent it when she replies, likely not before Tuesday (she only has email at work).
