On the Way to You

Tell me something to help me freak out less about the decision I just made to get in the car with you.” He paused. “If I do kill you, I promise to take care of your dog.”

“Because we’re just a blip on the radar, Cooper. Just like every other animal before us. And no matter how much we take while we’re here, we always have to give it back.”

“No, that’s just what I ask people. I feel like the first thing everyone asks when you meet is, ‘What do you do?’ I’ve always hated that, like a job defines us. So, I ask what makes people happy.” His shoulders lifted a little. “That tells me more about a person than what they do to make money.”

“You don’t look like a psychic,” he said, giving her a once-over. “And you don’t look like an asshole, but appearances can be deceiving, can’t they?”

Ugh! I fucking knew it! 💔😭
