1 " You know how people hang motivational shit over their bed like Always Kiss Me Goodnight?" "Yeah." "Ours will say, Skip the fight. Go right to the make-up sex. "
― Jana Aston , Love In Transit
2 " You're going to kill me.""It'd be a hell of a way to go though.""Was that makeup sex? We didn't even have a real fight. Wow.""Rational conversation," I remind him sleepily."So we got to skip the fight and go right to the make-up sex," he muses. "Fuck, I'm the luckiest man alive.""Don't press your luck. We can still have a fight if you're that into it.""No, I'm good.""Thought so. "
3 " You're so stupid.""Agreed.""Okay." I sigh. We've reached his apartment and we pause in front of the door and stare at each other. "Let's go fuck this out."“Seriously?”“Yes.”“You really are too good to me.”“Agreed. Now unlock the door. "
4 " What the fuck, Max?""On a scale of one to breaking up with me, how mad are you?""I'm twenty-three, Max, not thirteen. We're going to have a conversation about this, not pick out a dramatic breakup song. "
5 " I have. I’m going to tell him I fell in love with you in the most unexpected, ordinary way. That one phone conversation turned into another and another, each one longer than the last, because talking to you became the most important part of my day. "
6 " I’m going to tell your brother the truth. That I woke up one day and realized I loved you, and knowing you’d want an elopement on your terms, I came to Toronto and surprised you.” “You’re going to tell him the truth,” she whispers. “So we don’t need to lie.” “And because it’s a pretty decent love story, too. "
7 " So that’s in the vault, right? Along with my underage drinking and fear of living on the Eastern Seaboard?”“You bet.”“You know all my secrets.”He grunts quietly. “I should probably tell you more of mine, balance that out.”“Have you ever been arrested?”He shakes his head. “No.”“But you hate New York, right?”He looks sideways at me, his shoulders shaking with quiet laughter. “No. I mean, I love California, but I have no geography-based phobias.”“Mine isn’t geography-based. It’s relations-based. Meddling-based. Smothering-Nana-based.”“And yet when she says jump…”I say how high, no matter where I am in the world. “Maybe I’ll go to Australia for my next course of studies.”“Good plan, troublemaker. "
