[ Love is love, no argument there, but the fact that Peek can count Grace's age on both his fingers and toes makes him wonder (frequently) if it's really love at all on her part or just something like passing infatuation mistaken for love.
When he tries to look back over the course of his own life, back on through his adulthood and into his distant adolescence, there is no single great love that that he can recall with crystal clarity, no woman or girl so monumental and large that she managed to eclipse all the others. There are times when he wonders whether or not this is strictly a girl thing — some phase that Grace is going through that he should try to Google over the internet, or some form of teenage rebellion that happened to somehow twist itself into knots.
He gets the urge every once and a while to ask her step back, to analyze the situation objectively. Ultimately a compliment, an I trust your judgment, but Peek is pretty sure Grace won't ever take it that way. ]
What — wi't you? [ He sniffs his nose at the pinky in question. ] Dunno when y'washed it last.
[ That's a lie. If anyone in the room has an idea when, it'd be him. ]
