    “He thought about this for a second. "True. But if you never really make friends, you probably don't have anyone to be your 2 a.m. Which would kind of suck.
    I just looked at him as he stirred his soup, carrots spinning in the liquid. "Your what?"
    "Two a.m." He swallowed, then said, "You know. The person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them. Even if they're asleep or it's cold or you need to be bailed out of jail...they'll come for you. It's, like, the highest level of friendship.”

    “So," he said as we turned onto the main road, the muffler rattling, "I've been thinking."
    "Yeah?"
    He nodded. "You really need to go out with me."
    I blinked. "I'm sorry?"
    "You know. You, me. A restaurant or movie. Together." He glanced over, shifting gears. "Maybe it's a new concept for you? If so, I'll be happy to walk you through it."
    "You want to take me to a movie?" I asked.
    "Well, not really," he said. "What I really want is for you to be my girlfriend. But I though saying that might scare you off.”
