1 " Because the same as any man, women were entitled to a fuss-free sex life should they so choose. And it didn't make us sluts, or whores, or any of the other nasty, misogynistic, double-standard bullshit that got thrown a woman's way when she didn't fit with the traditional ideals of who and what a female should be.

2 " The big-ass hole, all of the wreckage and mess. I'd done that. Me, "
3 " Alone meant absolutely no one giving me shit, involving me in shit, or generally being a shit. Alone didn't care what you wore or how many days it'd been since you washed your hair or shaved your pits. Alone accepted you exactly how you were. It never lied to me or let you down. For all of these reasons and more, I loved alone. We'd probably wed. "
4 " Holy shit, were we complicating things. We were out of control."Building?" Asked Eric, voice heavy with disbelief."Yes." Teeth gritted, I smiled."Banging, screwing," said Joe. "you know. "
5 " You need to slow it down some, hide from the world more, and learn how to say no like me. When in doubt, don’t answer the phone or the door. It’s always people. "
6 " It’s good to see you relax.” He leaned in closer. “Between you and me, you can be a little high strung sometimes.” “Which is completely cool and super-desirable, thank you very much.” “Abso-fucking-lutely.” The laughter in his eyes was beatific. "
7 " Yes. But prepare yourself, there’s going to be a lot of cuddling tonight.” “Ew.” I scrunched up my nose at him. “I know, I know. But you’re going to have to be brave and put up with it.” Quietly, I laughed. “I think I can do that. "
8 " Teeth gritted, he gazed down at me. "Now that I come to think about it. I'm not real keen on your eye color, either. What do you call that shade of green? Fungus? "
9 " When in doubt, don’t answer the phone or the door. It’s always people. "

11 " Men sucked more than any known creature. "
12 " You're going to end up like one of those crazy cat ladies with your apartment smelling of piss and regret. "
13 " I want you with me.” Another kiss was placed on my face. “But don’t rush into making a decision. I don’t want you regretting anything.”“We’ll figure it out.” I smiled, soaking in the scent of him, the feel of his slick suit and thick shoulder beneath my cheek. The brush of his beard against the top of my head. Heaven.“Yeah,” he whispered. “Love you.”“You do?”“Without a doubt.”“Good. I love you more though,” I said. Because it’s important in relationships, especially those that felt like forever, to show that you were the better person. Ha. "
14 " Yes, I know. Shock horror. A single woman regularly indulging in casual sex. "
15 " It couldn’t have been Eric. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t even find a computer’s on switch, let alone write actual emails on a regular basis. It took him forever just to learn how to spell his own name.” Eric "
