" The field appears.
It’s filled with dirty giants.
Grunting, shouting, dirty giants, tossing around an oblong ball that kind of looks like a football but isn’t.
… I have zero clue what’s happening on the field, transfixed as a mass of players begins piling up when one goes down, climbing over each other, elbows and knees flying.
Faces get smashed.
Mud everywhere.
One guy’s nose begins to profusely bleed as he steps away from the pack, and for the love of all that is holy, what the hell is going on?
I’d compare the sight to a cross between the Scottish Highland games and an actual brawl—it’s not a fight but it looks like one?
I’m so confused. "

" Can I still call you Oswald? I’m sad now knowing it’s not your real name.” Agitated, I turn to face her, slamming the book closed with a satisfying thud. “Do I look like an Oswald to you?” She squints, sizing me up. “Hmmm, not really, now you mention it. Now that I’m taking a good look at you, you’re more of a Blake. Or a Richard.” “Okay, now you’re fucking with me.” “Me?” She points a finger at her chest. “Noooo.” We both start laughing then, the clear sound of her lighthearted giggle doing bizarre shit to my stomach and heart that I can’t label—weird, fucked up fluttering and shit. Annoying. "

" Fine. I’m curious, all right? Sue me. You’re this giant of a guy, who must be—”
She stops herself.
“Spit it out, Teddy. Stop hesitating.” It’s driving me nuts!
“Fine! You’re this giant of a guy who must get…excited a lot. There, happy now?”
“And by excited you mean…”
“Horny, okay?” The words burst out of her. “Thank god it’s dark, my face is on fire.”
Yup. I made her say the word horny, and she sounds horrified, and it’s perfect.
“And you’re not? Horny?”
“Uh…when would I have the time? And please stop saying that word—it’s awful. It’s worse than the word moist. Or squirt.”
She hates the word moist? What’s wrong with the word moist? "
