<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I'm not dancing around anything—I'm just trying to find... [i]common ground.[/i] And dear, is this kind of distancing truly necessary?

I'm afraid our current common ground is just limited to words right now.
And I would say it wouldn't if things felt normal.
But things hardly feel normal right now.
Also feel free to try snacking on that distancing, though I do think it might give you indigestion.
