“What?” Jake asked quietly.
“I don’t like it when you don’t smell like you,” was the equally quiet reply.
“It won’t happen again, Flip. I promise.”

And then, there was this noise. This strange broken noise. Like something cracking or shattering. It wasn’t until he felt the burning tears fall down his cheeks and drop to the floor beneath him that Jake realized the noises were coming from him. His mouth was open as if he were wailing, but no sound other than choked and splintered noises and crackles were coming out.

“Between you and Aaron, I’m in a stupid sandwich.”
“If you were between me and Aaron, you’d be in porn.

LOL.....
