“Um, yeah. I guess it’s kind of a metaphor. I don’t feel an actual magnetic pull toward Seven. I just have a bit of a crush on him.” I’m blushing now and feeling so embarrassed, but it seems like I’m not going to get out of talking to Ken about it. “A crush.

“All the stories end with the villain vanquished and the happy couple riding off into the sunset. That’s what happily ever after is. They never have to work on their relationship, never have to get their hands dirty when facing the challenges living a full life creates. They’re caught in stasis, without conflict, without problems, without life. That’s no way to live.”

“Nope. All the nope. A whole bucketful of nope.”
