Joelle: You're the one who pulled me closer.

Joelle: Emmett ...

Emmett: Just maybe?

Joelle: Okay, definitely.

Emmett: What are you thinking about?

Joelle: Your hands. Your mouth. The sound you made when I rocked against you.

Emmett: Fuck.

Emmett: You can't say things like that and expect me to survive the night.

Joelle: Who says I want you to survive?

Emmett: Trouble.
