It's a wonder that Fiddleford didn't already blurt this out. Probably good, because if he had he might have done it publicly and then all that work would have gone down the drain. As it is he managed to hold it back until he was no longer compelled to tell the truth, but that hasn't stopped him wanting to tell Marco anyway. That it's taken this long is just a product of him waffling about the best way to do it, but he's been down that road before and that road had Marco jump out a window, so maybe it's best to just bite the bullet.

He finds Marco in the living room. For a long moment he hangs in the doorway, and then takes a deep breath and slithers in.

"Hey, hon. I have somethin' I need to talk with you about."
