Tourist Trap

by Morgan Elizabeth

“Why not? I love flirting. It’s basically one of my three personality traits. Hot, funny, a flirt.”

“You know, everyone makes choices in life. I chose to make sure that whatever I do with my life, be it a job, a person, or a place, I’ll be happy to be there forever. I haven’t found something that makes me feel that way, and I’m okay with that. I’m okay with everyone thinking I’m just some mercurial girl who will never grow up because I won’t settle down if it means that when I’m fifty, I won’t look around and realize I’m fucking miserable. Can you say the same?”

“Yeah, I guess I do know that. You’re kind of in love with me.“

“Because you’re crazy about me?” “Because I’m crazy about you, and the idea of everyone not knowing exactly what we are, including you, makes me a bit feral. Because I want you to introduce me to people as your boyfriend, because I want to walk into the Seabreeze by your side and have everyone in this town know you’re mine and to keep their fucking hands off of you.”

"I see the sass runs in the family,"

I want to continue making a family…with you.
