“You make me laugh with your deadpan, inappropriate humor. And nothing feels better than when I manage to make you smile. I love being around you. You make me feel safe and okay and right. The way I see it, we either both pretend it matters that we don’t have any experience and go off to discover that no one is going to come close to sharing what we have, or we just accept that fate threw us together in the middle of a storm and was writing our story before we understood our roles. I want to learn more about you. I want to learn everything. And I want you to learn me, too.”
