The Rom-Commers

by Katherine Center

“A great rom-com,” I said, “is just like sex. If you’re surprised by the ending, somebody wasn’t doing their job. We all know where it’s headed. The fun is how we get there. Seriously—have you ever had fantastic sex that culminated in an epic orgasm and then said to yourself, God, that was so cliché. It should’ve had a different ending?”

I'm crying!!!!

“I’m so sorry, Emma,” he said then. “I would write a hundred happy endings for us if I could.”

I am now crying at work with patients who could hear. This hurts and is the best use of protect her from me I have ever seen.
