  Summary

  Dennis raised his hands in exasperation. “I don’t know! I was just being a dick to him like I always am and he was, like, annoying!”

  ”Then how about you stop?” At Dennis’ confused look, she clarified, “Stop being a dick? And that annoyingness? That’s him caring, Dennis. Not a lot of people would do that. They just leave.”

  -

  Dennis talks a lot of shit about Mac's dance for someone so obviously in denial.
