I'm sorry Frank. I never meant for my silliness to hurt you. I would never...you know how much I love you, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or on edge. I won't any longer, all right? You're not an arse, you're a darling that I love. I'll talk to him, let him know it bothers you for him to compliment me, I'm sure he'll be suitably embarrassed to have caused you pain and stop.
I might be jealous if I thought it was serious, yes. I'm sorry, love, it was never such on my end. I love you, more than words can express.
