I’m in a book club with Trin and Brynne. We’re reading a cowboy romance right now that’s pretty good. But my all-time favorite is probably The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

WILLOW:

You’re in a romance book club?

ME:

It didn’t start that way, but they swindled me into reading nothing but romance. Do you read?

WILLOW:

Not as much as I used to. Maybe you could lend me a book?

ME:

You could join the club. All the cool kids are in it.

WILLOW:

Maybe.

ME:

Do you believe in soulmates?

WILLOW:

Wow. What a question.

ME:

You don’t have to answer.

WILLOW:

Short answer: I don’t know.

Do you?

ME:

I think so.

I want to, at least.

WILLOW:

It’s getting late…

ME:

One more question.

You ask.

WILLOW:

Do you regret your decision?
