Snapshot

If I could build a boyfriend in a lab and fill him with all the magic ingredients…it’d be Alan. He checks every box except one. I didn’t realize what a huge fucking box it is. I’m not a shallow girl. I don’t think lust is all about good looks and muscles, and I don’t think mind-blowing sex has to be kinky. But I do believe chemistry is something that can’t be forged. It’s gifted.

“Choose love over fair. Over duties. Escape, Dex. Do you understand me? Love, love, love. Fight for it. Obsess over it. It’s the only thing that makes sense at the end of your life. How do I get you to understand that? You should have loyalty to absolutely nothing else except love.”
