This is such a weight off. Of course, I'll get this finalized and- Wait, sorry, just one super quick thing. Sure, what's going on? I want custody of the dog. Right, okay. We can talk through options, shared schedules, primary ownership. No, like sole custody. Just something like simple in the agreement. So, we would actually need to reopen part of the agreement to address that. Oh, really? Even if it's quick? Okay, so adding custody terms like you suggested, especially after everything's finalized, it takes a little bit of back and forth and some readjustments. Hmm, okay. But like, it should be pretty straightforward, right? We'll definitely work through it. Perfect. Yeah, yeah, just something quick.
