... Because he needs order. That's the kind of man he is. It's like you said - he probably has the same uncertainty going on. Consider, you tend to act on impulse (to put it kindly), and we know the Drift can amplify both of your emotions. My guess is, imposing a hard time limit is his way of preventing you both from making a kneejerk decision.
No, no, I get it, but I keep doing this. And before you or I know it, I'm going to have that ring bought and paid for and am going to be trying to get Hermann to put it on and I've got to do this on his terms, right? So...I answered my own question: waiting. Totally waiting. Yeah. Until he ...says something or does something to say he's actually ready. Because setting a hard time-limit doesn't mean he's ready really when the time runs out.
...Hey, sorry, we've got to stop meeting like this. How're you?

Promise me you'll talk me down from it when one of these days I tell you I have the ring and I'm going to do it.
