1 " Well, all of us country club ex-wives need a lot of money,” she said. “Sex with the stable boys at the club isn’t cheap you know.” I almost choked. “Mom! You made me spit my beer.” My dearest mother hummed into the phone. “Maybe you wouldn’t be single, darling, if you learned to swallow properly. "

2 " Did you take lessons in cynical?” “I did, yes. I was so good at it, I now teach ‘How to be a cynical jerk’ at the local community college. I can get you discount rates if you want. Just tell them I sent you.” “And sarcasm?” “Yep, I have my Masters in sarcasm. I can get you a two-for-one deal if you want.” Will laughed again. “You would seriously charge me to take one of your hypothetical classes?” “Hypothetical is an extra charge,” I told him, sitting down on a bench seat. “And anyway, I have to make a living somehow. I’d consider prostitution, but it’s against my moral standing to enjoy my work. "
3 " I tried to do my bracelet up, but couldn’t get the clasp to fasten, and before I tossed it across the room, Will grabbed my hand and fixed the silver clasp for me. “Jesus, Mark, surely Batman can do up his own bracelets.” “Batman. Bat. Man, Will,” I reminded him. “I’m not Magneto. "
4 " You know, I’m gonna marry a girl just to piss you off.” Mom laughed. “Then you’ll deserve estrogen-fuelled psychotic rants about shoes and cellulite.” “Isn’t that a little stereotypical?” “Of course it is,” Mom said nonchalantly. “Just like saying all gay men love cock and lesbians love to munch clams. "
5 " Un giorno, Mark, qualcuno ti manderà KO""Picchiandomi?"Rise "No, idiota. Voglio dire che perderai la testa per qualcuno al punto che non saprai neanche che cosa ti ha colpito "
6 " Will è un ragazzo così dolce. Vorrei che smettessi di pensare a te stesso, lo facessi ubriacare e ti approfittassi di lui. Dovreste davvero stare insieme. Siete la coppia perfetta "
7 " Si chiama cuore spezzato, Mark""È orribile" dissi a voce bassa "È la cosa peggiore""Allora perché lo si fa?" domandai "Perché ci affliggiamo con l'amore se ci fa sentire così?""Perché per quanto tu ti senta male ora, l'amore è un milione di volte meglio "
8 " I voti furono tradizionali, il che mi sorprese, ma il modo in cui la voce di Isaac si spezzò mi fece venire un groppo in gola. Si aggrappava a Carter come se la sua vita dipendesse da quello e io stavo cominciando a capire quanto fosse vero. Quando ami qualcuno, o nel mio caso, quando finalmente ammetti di amare qualcuno, e loro hanno il tuo cuore tra le mani, doni loro la tua stessa vita "
9 " I never thought I’d be the type to cry at a wedding. And I didn’t cry, per se. It must have been allergies or something. Who the hell has a wedding in the outdoors in Spring? I mean, come on. "
10 " You should get those stretchy underpants all the gay porn stars are wearing these days and wear them instead of those blue Lycra-looking ones. They make all their dicks look huge.” “Because all their dicks are huge,” I said. “They’re called trophy briefs for a reason. "
11 " We’d done little more than introduce ourselves to the woman at the front desk of the tailor, when the door behind us opened. I didn’t turn around at first, not really caring who else walked into the store, but when Will spoke to someone, I looked to see who it was. Clay. In his blue fireman pants and boots and a blue tee-shirt with Hartford Fire Department written on the front. Great. Just fucking great. “When I texted Clay earlier,” Will said, “I told him we’d be here and wouldn’t be long, and that he should come down if he had time.” I guess he had time. Where the fuck are all the pyromaniacs when I need them? "
12 " There was nothing, nothing, that compared to that moment. "
13 " Leave her alone,” he whispered. “She’s happy.” I looked at him and shook my head. “No, that’s just the plastic surgery. She always looks like that. "
