Summary
Spite is a fine motivator for intimacy. At least for Raylan, who has an allergic reaction to expressing his thoughts, feelings, emotions, and for Boyd, who never has learned how to love without a siren ringing in his ears.
Raylan and Boyd get married, because they love one another and genuinely want to spend the rest of their time together, until one or both of them inevitably die from pissing off the wrong person- who may still yet be the other. But they're bad at saying such things, so they find excuses, some spiteful pretense to put on paper.
It's the same with the pie. Spite is a beautiful reason to bake a pie. As long as you can couch it correctly, you never have to say "I love you."
After almost two decades of cohabitation and ritual and overt affection they forgot to hide behind something else, they aren't fooling anyone. Not even themselves.

Summary
What are you doing?, Boyd asked him with immense dubiousness. I can feel you prancing all up and down my roots.
I don’t know, Raylan replied with a little psychic shrug. Just seems like the thing to do, somehow.

Summary
“You don’t even know what I did,” she whimpers, and Joel asks:
“Do you- wanna tell me?”
He’s not sure he’s ready to hear it; he’s not sure he’ll ever be ready to hear, he thinks, but his needs dim mightily in comparison to the needs of his girl. Always has, always will. That’s the way this thing works, after all, isn’t it?
