Just because you grew up in that life doesn’t mean that’s you, all right? You’re your own thing, bright and warm and beautiful. Don’t doubt that.”
There’s nothing I wouldn’t give her to make her happy. Hell, I’ve even considered sneaking into her yard at night and fertilizing her tomatoes, but I don’t want to take her garden away from her. She really enjoys working on it, and even though it’s not in the best shape, it’s all hers. Something she can be proud of, and I’m plenty proud of her even if her cucumbers all wilted, her squash never flowered, and her carrots got carried away by rabbits.
“Of course you have! You’re always so generous. Even that first night when I spilled your food all over you–”
“You did? I don’t remember that at all.”
“You don’t remember–Oh.” She laughs. “You’re messing with me.”
“The only thing I remember from you is wonderful service every time I set foot in here. That’s all.”
“It’s hard and soft. Just like you.”
“I’ve been called a dick a few times in my life.”
