"I feel like I haven't known what to do with myself since we first kissed." she sighed. "Don't take that to mean that I regret it, because I don't, or that I want us to stop with the kissing because no, no really don't want that. It's just... this is strange for me."
"I haven't had the same partner for longer than a few months since I was in my twenties. I'm used to a love life full of short encounters with people I want to sleep with but probably don't want to hang out with otherwise. It's served me well and now it's just what I'm used to."
"And then there's this thing with you, which is basically the opposite of all that."
