Your boyfriend, Hobie, was British—Cockney to be exact—so he had a British accent. You had a thing for British accents, but the depth of his voice made it better, so when you heard his deep cockney accent and slang, you couldn’t help but freak out a bit.

You were at school when Hobie wrapped his arms around your waist from behind. “‘ow’s my trouble and strife?” He’d recently told you some cockney slang, and knowing that “trouble and strife” meant “wife”, you just couldn’t function.
