B: "See, you got everybody fooled, Hannah. You pretend to be all shy...and intro...what's that word?"
H: "Introspective? Introverted?"
B: "Right. Those. You act like you're somebody who doesn't take chances, but that's not true. See, I saw that other side of you. I was here, you leaned in, you tried to kiss me. You didn't think about it, you just did what you wanted to do. And for a brief second, you saw it."
H: "Saw what?"
B: "A future. Or, you know, the possibility of one. You know, and then, I mean, damn, you called me on my crap, which, honestly? No girl has ever done before, you know? Which means you're way stronger and cooler than you think. Which means you can't let this thing, this not knowing thing, stop you from living your life, because God, Hannah, your life is going to rock."
H: "You think so?"
B: "Yeah. Hell yeah. And this Topher thing? I don't know, go out with him, don't go out with him. But live your life out, because you never know, y'know? I mean, none of us know how long we're going to be here. My friend Colin sure as hell didn't. I think about it every single day...at least, I try to. You gotta treat every moment like it's a..."
H: "Like a gift?"
B: "Yeah, yeah. You can't give it up, and you can't give it back, because, God, Hannah, you are too good for that. OK? Oh, and one more thing. Don't ever say that it's unlikely someone's going to fall in love with you, because they will. They will. They will see all the things I see, and more, and, I don't know, unlike me, they'll actually deserve you."
