Hank,

get off your fuzzy blue butt and go talk to Madelyn already, would you?

No, I didn't say anything to her and no, I won't tell you anything that she said, but it would be a good idea for you to STOP BEING A DOOFUS AND GO TALK TO HER.

Now you're just being silly

You are one of the nicest, sweetest, most wonderful guys I know, ok, and I am telling you that any woman with half a brain and any amount of heart could care for you, and Madelyn has lots of both. That said, if you don't tell her how you feel the Great Mansion Migration will be a certainty compared to your chances.

Unlike me, she's not a mind-reader Hank, and neither are you. You can't know how she feels and she can't know how you feel until you two TALK.

Being scared of this stuff is normal. Hell, I'm still terrified of talking to Scott about how I feel or trying to get him to tell me what's up, and we were engaged to be married before everything.

That doesn't mean you should let the fear win.

Not being silly... being scared.

As long as I don't say anything, I still have the hope. Once I've told her... then I might not even have that. It's one of those win all or lose all situations.

But you're right. I do have to tell her.

I just don't know how. Me, lost for words, funny I know...

She means a lot to me. I don't want to screw this up.

I know...

You can't let the fear keep you from it, though, Hank. And you can't survive on hope alone.

Truly, I do think the only way you could actually mess this up would be to put it off for too long.

But you know I'm here for you, always, and that I have faith in you.
