"what are you looking for in a relationship?"
"oh, well, just basically... somebody who can stand to be with me, i guess. you?"
"well... i wanna know that if my limbs fall off, we'd still be together no matter what; and when he says my name, it sounds different in his mouth... like it's safe there. i put on perfume and he puts on cologne, and we go out and we can smell each other. he makes you smile when you're tired -- that's a big one. you tell him something that you're scared to tell him, because you're afraid it'll make him stop loving you. but when you tell him, you're surprised, because actually it makes him love you more. or you tell him that you love his shirt and he ends up wearing it every day. my greatest example of this is my grandparents. my grandmother has arthritis in her hands and she can't bend down and paint her toes. so my grandfather does it for her, all the time. even though he has arthritis in his hands, too."
"so, do you like this place?"
"i like you."
