Something was more than nothing.

She gave me a ride home, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had somehow disappointed her, even though she hadn’t said as much.

But I hated it.

“How much did you drink tonight?” she finally asked as we neared my street.

Quotes by Kelsey Kingsley (?)

“There are certain thing in our lives – certain people - that are just supposed to be there. We don’t choose them, or what they’ll mean to us; they’re just a part of who we are.”
…
“And what is it you think I am to you?” …
Without hesitation, she answered, “You’re the man I’m meant to love.”
― Kelsey Kingsley, Warrior Blue

“You make me so fucking vulnerable, Audrey, and I hate it so much. I fucking hate that I don’t have a choice in any of this shit, and that nothing makes sense anymore. But I love you, and I guess that’s all that really needs to make sense.”

“But it's writing, damn it, not washing the car or putting on eyeliner. If you can take it seriously, we can do business. If you can't or won't, it's time for you to close the book and do something else.

Wash the car, maybe.”
