[Sigh. Now this, this is where the sage advice comes out. Except it's coming from a dude who ran a boatyard, so it might not be the most sage thing out there. Still, as an impressionable young man with a memory that could cut a diamond, of course he was going to remember.]
...if you love a woman, you give her flowers. Candy. Take her to dinner. Tell her you love her. [And here, the squeeze gets a little tighter. The cage is shrinking.] If you find one you can't live without, where even thinking of a world without her is enough to bring you to your knees? You marry her. Trap her to you with the support of the law. Otherwise, she can leave at any time without too much fuss, and you're the Goddamn numbskull who let it happen so you never deserved her in the first place.
[Find what you love and make sure it has to really not love you back in order for it to run away. Super romantic.]
