“We’re not going to die, Kyle. Just relax.”

“I thought you weren’t looking.”
“I decided I should meet death head on.”
“Brave, if slightly stupid. But brave.”
“Thank you.”

“Because I said so, Jake.”

“And if I do?”
“You get another kiss.”

“But you’re not denying it.”
“…maybe…”
“Ha! I win!”
“I think we both win.”
