Tony learns a lot of things about Pepper when they start dating.
First, she gets really hot in her sleep, and she sleeps with windows open.
Second, she hoards books. Potts likes bookstores. At their first day they go to the bookstore that Pepper likes. It looks old, “Rare and Used books” the sign reads. Books, good wine and records. That the things that Pepper loves.
Third, he likes her smile. She is really cute without her make up. She wears contact. Fourth, she is too good for him. But he can’t tell her who to love, she is a free woman.
Fifth, she likes cactuses. She has like 10 of them and buys one when she is sad.
Six, she doesn’t want kids. She likes kids. She is not sure she can take care of them. It isn’t just a flower in the pot, and she killed at of them due to neglect. It is a human being. She can’t just forget to feed them, because she is overworked.
He keeps mental notes of all of them. How she makes her coffee, how she sings when no one hears. He want to know more every time.
