“I want you, Saylor. Just you.”
“It means I want to date you. Be in a relationship. Whatever you want to call it. I want you, Saylor.”
“You’re a lot more than that to me… but I can’t figure out what I am to you. If I’m anything to you.”
“Like we could be doing anything in the world and it would still be as thrilling as skydiving.”
“I don’t want to go skydiving with you, Saylor. I want to be the person you rely on when you’re acting like you can do everything on your own.” His words remind me of my dad’s, and I push back the same way I did at the wedding. “I can do everything on my own,” I insist. “There’s a difference between wanting to and having to,” Beck replies sagely.
