"The archangel Gabriel, he really likes candy and animals and bad movies and... me."

But I'm not a stray to him, I'm like... well, he... he cares about me, really, as a person, and I don't... deserve it. At all. You know what I... Does that make sense?" He glances at her, and he's already sinking in his pit of anxiety so all the abrupt oversharing doesn't really add much at this point, but looking directly at her is too much, and he looks away just as quickly.
"My point is," he says with a faint air of humor, "he wants to meet you and he's a really nice guy, but this dinner might be a little weird."
