That makes sense. But it's better if it's not what I want to call you; it's better if it's what you want to be called. Do you want me to? Call you Miles in private, so you can decide how you like the sound of it...?
( It's just an offer she figures is worth putting on the table. There's nothing that says he has to stick with it or even let her to begin with, after all, and she has no real horse in that race. She's just trying to help. )
Let me ask you this: is is the driving or is it the reason behind the driving that you love? Because if it's just the driving itself, there's plenty of easy fixes for that.
( Legal ones that won't make him feel so bad about himself. At least, she's getting the idea that he feels pretty bad about himself, in any case. )
