It wasn't that he didn't want Veronica to know how he felt about her, he just -- wasn't very good with feelings. She'd had so many problems with men when he'd first met her that it hadn't seemed like a good time to admit things to her, and now it almost seemed -- too late. She was far too comfortable around him, and he'd probably lost his window of opportunity.

...still. She'd been -- away from enough strange men for long enough that he felt comfortable at least hitting on her again. If she took it as something serious, he'd take it as a sign. That was why he was here, pizza in hand, knocking on her door.

"Oi, Ronnie! Open the door, Ron, I know you're home." He didn't, actually, but yelling usually got her to the door sooner.
