I'll see your confession, and raise you mine: I don't remember how I lived before you.
I was thinking about our wedding when I was out running last night. The stars always remind me of you, and I remember how much I liked you that first night. I thought I knew you back then, but I knew nothing compared to these past few months.

It's good that we can agree on liking each other, such that we made poor old Bartlett marry us on the spot.

Come on. Bartlett enjoyed the fuck out of us. We brought a whole lot of amusement to another boring night of lobstering. That's your gift in life, Skip. You make the most ordinary things quite extraordinary.
Stay warm up there, Skip. When I get you back, I want to see all fingers and toes intact.
Here's my confession: I can't stop thinking about you.

Me neither. It's annoying.
