Mick doesn't think about his family. He pushes it all aside as best he can and focuses on the family that he has. Leonard. Lisa. His whole damn world. Lisa is easy to answer because he's honest with her. No softballing things, no dumbing it down. She gets simple and direct answers because she's a smart kid and she deserves to be treated like one.
He shrugs. "Might even be legal then." A wink. "But keep talking about getting married and you're gonna make your brother go grey early." He drops to one knee as Leonard lets her down outside the restaurant. Lays a finger over her heart. "That right there? It's yours. Most important thing you got. So you don't go giving that to anyone, boy or girl, unless they went and earned it."
And if his eyes flick to Leonard for a moment, well. That's just coincidence. Right? Right. Totally not on purpose.
