“Wasn’t gonna, but what does she think you do?”
“I have a ‘consulting’ firm in Seattle.”
“Consultingwhat?”
“She doesn’t ask, so I don’t make up shit to tell her.”

Messing with him has never been so much fun! Now, if you could guarantee that we’d be feeling like this for the rest of our lives? I might believe that I have finally found my true match.
