I’m telling you I’ve never been in a relationship.” “Why?” “Because it’s never served me.” His chuckle is dark and low. “Why is that?” “Because the idea of being beholden to a man annoys me.

They always have all these expectations, and I don’t like feeling like I can’t do whatever I want without running it past someone else.”
