"Glinda, something was wrong with you. And I'm sorry...I can't believe...after everything...this is just some big joke. I'm glad I could at least provide you some amusement."

"It's not!" she protested. "Can we...be friends? Please? I won't ask for more. I won't until I gain back your trust. I know it's not something you give easily, and I am sorry for breaking it in the first place."

"That...dream..." It wasn't a dream, but how else do I put it to you? "If I were completely honest you'd think me even more mad than you already do. Just know it wasn't so sudden. It was very gradual...i've felt this way for...almost two years..."

"Then why didn't you tell me? WHat changed? You never even knew I existed before. You have everything you've ever wanted Glinda. Why me? If you were with me, you'd be the laughing stock of Oz, and that's the truth. No matter what I did with Dorothy. Even if you really feel that way.. I couldn't let you do that Ginda."

"People adore me, Boq. For some reason they falsely believe I can do no wrong..." she sighed. "It's a gift and a curse. Nonetheless, I would explain, people would swoon, eveything would be set right agan after only moments of hesitation. It might take me down half a notch, but I think I could handle it." she jested, hoping he'd get that frown off his face. "And i've done a fairly good job to keep my private life private since my epic failed engagement with Fiyero. Just...be my friend Boq...let us get to know each other again..will you do that?"

"Y...yes Miss. Glinda. I can certainly do that." He too her hand, and gently kissed it.

She blushed. How she'd missed soft touches and embraces. It had only been two days ago he'd pressed her so firmly to him and twirled her hair around his finger as they tried to sleep, worried sick about their daughter. It had only been two weeks ago she'd been a happy family with the two of them. And now, it had only been two seconds he'd pressed his lips to her hand before releasing it. My how life changed in the blink of an eye.

"I would like for us to get to know each other, as I always wish we had Miss Glinda." He leaned forward, and said shyly, "No disrespectation Miss...but you'll always be Galinda to me.

"Then drop the miss, just call me that," she smiled.

"Yes...Glinda."
He had never been able to do that for Nessarose.

"Thank you," she smiled, taking his hand. 'I suppose I should let you get back to your work, hmm?"

"Perhaps" said Boq. "Um... will you be attending the University dinner for faculty and patrons tomorrow night? I would love to escort you, if you'd have me." He said.

Boq gave a little bow. "Until tomorrow night than. And... I'm looking forward to us both getting to know each other. That's all I REALLY wanted you know, for you to see ME. And, I guess I never really got to see you. The way I wanted to. Though I know you Glinda. I think better than anyone else in some ways. Though some things I only began to see and understand more recently. I...I was a fool. Not to see...you used me Glinda. I never saw that before, but it's true. I see now. And somehow, part of me doesn't mind. And I hate myself for it."
