This whole . . . I don’t know, relationship thing. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” “That makes two of us, Mads. We’ll figure it out together. We’ll do what feels right for us.” He runs his hands over the back of my head, and I nearly swoon, unsure if he could possibly say anything more perfect than that.
