At one point during my session when it was probably the most intense I couldn't take it anymore and I stuck my tongue out at L and said "Pardon me while I be 5 for a moment." That made both of us laugh and it lightened up the intensity to where I could handle it again...

...and consarn it I think, I probably, yeah, ok fine I admit it I love her again.

I realize of course that this comes as a shock to absolutely no one.
