[Sure, Ford, make him go first. What if he fucks it up? He is absolutely capable of fucking up something as simple as eating fruit. Watch him. He's going to fuck it up. He's going to. Just watch --
He does not fuck it up. He manages to take a reasonably-sized bite and not get juice everywhere, even. He chews, swallows, and then holds the fruit back out to Ford.
All the time he thought about getting remarried, a scenario like this never crossed his mind. Mainly because all the times he thought about getting remarried prior to showing up in this house he immediately dismissed the idea. It felt disrespectful to how much he still cared for his wife, then. It doesn't now. Not because he doesn't care about her -- he will always love her, more than likely -- but because he's put that care in a little box and put that box on a shelf in his heart and it's fine. There's room for her and Ford both in there. He used to think there wasn't, but he's revised a lot of his views on interpersonal relationships recently. It's amazing the kind of perspective a place like this gives you.]
