“So, you mean it should be impossible for you to feel anything for someone like me?”

“God no! That’s not what I mean at all! Shit, I’m sorry. I mean that it’s impossible to expect you to feel anything for me. And now I probably fucked it all up cause you’re perfect and I’m this fucking animal!”

“Fine, just let me get my shorts on-”

“No, you just sit right there and start talking.”
