Separation Anxiety

Yep, Mudd's got it. He's going through that "hold me now, don't let me go" phase which is amazingly rewarding and extremely frustrating all the same. Who doesn't love feeling loved? After months of giving, giving, giving, Mudd is finally affirming to all that "hey, I kinda dig this woman." And yes, why lie, that's a mighty good thing. BUT, Mudd, now that you've let me know how much you appreciate me, could you let me leave the room for just a second? You've got all those cool toys and rattles to entertain you, and I promise it'll just be a second. Why can't I have that delectable, frosty strawberry shortcake and eat it too? Is there anything really wrong with that?
