Page 5 of Love Arranged

I don’tbelieve you.

Ana

You’re right. I love Lake Wisteria and plan on spending the rest of my life here. It’s part of my whole thirty-year plan to buy a cottage, have a few kids, and start a bee sanctuary in my backyard.

Laurence

That’s…oddly specific.

Ana

I’ve had a lot of time to think it over.

Laurence

I wouldn’t have guessed.

Ana

Don’t you have a thirty-year plan?

Laurence

No, and even if I did, I don’t think it would include this town.

Ana

This place will warm up to you eventually. Mark my words.

Laurence

Nearly impossible with the brutal winters.

Ana

I take it you’re not from somewhere cold.

Laurence

Hell is known to have the same temp year-round.

Ana

You’re funny.

Laurence

Your bar is far too low.

Ana

At least it’s easier for you to hit.

Laurence

You should expect more from people.

Ana
