Chapter Twenty-Four
Sophie: Rich and ugly, or poor and good looking?
Declan: What about rich and good looking?
Sophie: Not an option.
Declan: I beg to differ since you just described me.
Declan: What about you? Beautiful and fat or skinny and ugly?
Sophie: I’m not answering that. No matter what I say it makes me look shallow.
Declan: But it’s okay for you to ask me?
Sophie: Yes. Because we both already know you’re shallow. Whereas you still think I’m sweetness and light.
Declan: Well, you’re certainly sweet. *smacks lips together*
Sophie: Oh my god. Do you ever *not* turn something into sexual innuendo?
Declan: Not if I can help it.
Sophie: Anyway, would you ratherhave a dog with a cat’s personality or a cat with a dog’s personality?
Declan: Can I choose neither?
Sophie: Nope.
Declan: Shit Sophie, I don’t have time for a pet.
Sophie: Shit Declan, I’m not saying you have to run out to the humane society today and pick one up. Just answer the damn question.
Declan: Alright, fine. A dog with a cat’s personality. Dogs can be fun but they’re too needy. Cats are super chill.
Sophie: Cats are pure evil.
Declan: You don’t like cats?
Sophie: Oh no, I love them. Their evilness is a point in their favor. No one messes with a cat.
Declan: I know I said these games of yours are stupid, but every so often you say something that gives me strange insight into who you are and I love it.
Declan: Okay, my turn. Would you rather be the funniest person in the room or the most intelligent?
Sophie: The most intelligent, no question. Lemme guess. You would choose the funniest?
Declan: No one likes a smart ass.
Sophie: You love my ass. ;-)
Declan: !!!
Sophie: Two can play at your game, mister.
Sophie: Would you rather have no taste buds or be color blind?
Declan: Not blind, blind? I just couldn’t see colors?
