Blaise was probably the best boyfriend Abby ever had. He listened intently to everything she said, thought she was funny, and frequently surprised her with small gifts.
He still refused to kiss her as a matter of principle but he held her hand often and hugged her occasionally. It left her wanting more but she realized pushing him on the matter wouldn't do any good. He was a traditional man.
That being said, Blaise had adjusted his ways to her lifestyle quite a bit. He had even stopped using formal titles for Katie and Al. Since they started dating he had smiled and laughed a lot more too.
She could tell he was genuinely happy to be with her even if he wasn't the most loquacious person in the world. Even so, he complimented her regularly and that was nice.
