And besides, what can I say? He obviously has fabulous taste :)<br /><br />Apparently he's been very attentive last April and May, following her around and waiting around for her. Apparently he even skipped classes to see her--which I have to disagree with on several levels but I was kind of shocked that this was all news to me.
