[OOC: Sorry for the deletion, something weird happened on my end and it looked like I hadn't replied to the comment above.]

Perhaps in person would be best, though it isn't without merit to have such topics broached now to be finalized later. You are always very much welcome company, over the phone or otherwise. And if reassurance is needed, I am committed to what we have and where I hope we are going. I simply wasn't certain when was the right time to talk about it, and see where we both stood on the matter. Timing and pacing have not been my strong suits, in the past.

When I get back, then?
