“It felt nice to be spooned. It would have been better to have been forked, but at this point, I would take whatever I could get.”
M.L. Ryan, Special Offers

“There’s something very disconcerting about waking up before the sun comes up. Seriously, if God had wanted us to get up when it was still dark out, he wouldn’t have given us eyelids.”
M.L. Ryan, Special Offers

“Why do men believe that a few sentences with minimal detail constitutes a complete conversation?”
M.L. Ryan, Special Rewards
