[Again with the pulling of teeth, Booker. But he sits down. Too distracted to comment on the bizarre appearance of manners.
But it's not so much that he doesn't want to keep the truth of who he is from her - far from it, if given the actual concrete opportunity he would never let her know. Never let her discover who he undoubtedly had the potential to become.
But, with how her powers had been unleashed on the draft, Booker suddenly felt the pressure of time sinking down onto his shoulders and reminding him that she could find out at any minute. Any second she could know the awful truth and he would never be able to beat her too it.
It wasn't so much lying to her as making sure he was the source of the truth. Not...reality.
But coloring the truth wasn't what he wanted to do. Far from it.
Perhaps it was more personal than that. Which, honestly, seemed impossible.]
I don't want her regrettin' nothing after she gets married.
[He doesn't want her doing something stupid like involving him if she discovered she didn't want to.]
