experience is not what happens to you

So, what you’re saying is, she shouldn’t date anyone. She should keep doing this thing with you, even though you’re totally not together and you still refuse to admit that you’re in love with her. That’s what you’re telling me right now.

We have a good thing going – I don’t want to mess it up, Mac. Relationships can be great, but they get messy and friendships get destroyed and I don’t want that for her and me.

And I get that. I think it’s awesome that you care enough to think about her that much. But she’s going to want something eventually. And if you don’t plan on making a move, I think she should keep her options open.

...Should I make a move?

She doesn’t think she needs to date anyone. But I can see it in her eyes. She gets lonely. I mean, you date all the time, and she’s only ever been with one guy. I think it’s time for her to put herself back out there. And when I subtly mentioned it a few days ago, she totally agreed with me.

Fine, fine. But when Reyna rhetorically asks why she’s still single, you’re going to be the one to tell her that you refused to sign her up for speed dating.

She doesn’t need to date anyone!

High school was a great time.        Okay. I believe you. And, you know something? I’m really happy to have you in my life, too.

It was. Good. Just so you know, no girl will ever take your place. That includes in our bed.

Screw you, those were some of my biggest accomplishments. { she doesn’t complain about not having a shirt – she knew he wouldn’t let her grab one, he was honestly such a menace – and relaxes against him. } Mm… nope. I’m questioning.

They were my favorites of your accomplishments, you looked adorable. { he smiles down at her, pressing a kiss to her temple. } Nothing’s got me in a mood. I just... I’m happy to have you in my life.
