     ❛  every morning, i come into work and there’s cleo — in the window of her shop next door, smiling and waving hello. crazy as it sounds, i actually find myself looking forward to that wave, to our shared lunch hours — and i haven’t found myself looking forward to anything like that in a very long time. anyways, there are definitely worse ways to start your day. excuse the language, but that ex of hers is a moron for letting her go.  ❜

     ❛  why, what’d she say about me? kel’s a little shit, i’ll tell ya that much. twenty three years, she’s been the bane of my existence. one time, when we were eight, she tried to convince everyone in our class i was adopted. y’know, i almost bought it myself — got a way with words, that one. think she’s just pissed i was born a whole seven minutes before her. should’ve absorbed her in the womb when i had the chance.  ❜

      ❛  what about ask jeeves? or did i just age myself?  ❜  abandoning the jumbo crate of yellow corn he’d been shucking for the last half hour, he shakes his head in dismay. though ellis was just ten years his junior, he sure had a way of making emmett feel ancient.  ❛  anyway, i doubt the nice folks at yahoo answers could help me out of this particular jam. someone’s gotta teach evie about the birds and bees, and since you-know-who’s nowhere to be found… well, i guess that falls on me.  ❜  all the parenting books seemed to conveniently gloss over what to do when your daughter starts asking about boyfriends. frankly, the idea of evie dating anyone made him a little nauseous, especially that teacher-sassing, shaggy-haired hoodlum she gushed about in her diary each night.  ❛  unless cool uncle ellis wants to spend his friday night having a frank discussion with his favorite niece, it looks like the ball’s in my court.  ❜
