“This is kind of insane, isn't it?" I asked. "I've only known you for a few days."
"Five days. Six days if you include today." His blue eyes met mine, our foreheads still touching. "It's not insane. Insanity is a state of mind which prevents normal perception and/or behaviours."

"Jack, what I perceive of you, and how I've conducted myself in your company is with full mental cohesion." His cheeks stained with colour. "And Einstein would have you believe that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." He bit his lip and laughed at himself, I think. "But I don't want different results. I wouldn't change a thing.”

“Such a simple thing, really. A truly domestic sight that sent a pang of longing through to my core. I never realised it was what I wanted. It never occurred to me that I should yearn for something so basic. Sure, I’d had times of loneliness, but I never thought to myself, gee, I wish I had someone who would sit on my floor in his pyjamas and do his work with my dog curled up at his side… well, until I saw it. Now I’m pretty sure I wanted nothing else.”
