Dorian is prepared for that - quoting from the post before yours: "The cruelest - but at the same time the kindest - gift of the world is that we never know what will happen. So I'm familiar with the idea that even if she leaves her bf now for me she might get cold feet and go back to him. Or meet someone else. One thing at a time. "

and, I must say, the depth of understanding the human condition (that the cruelest experience is at the same time the kindest gift) and the eloquence in expressing it simply and succinctly has blown me away, especially given Dorian's young age and the fact that he is not writing in his native language (I assume it is Finnish).
