“So… is it coming back?”
“What, the romance?”
“Yeah.”
“Can it?”
“Hmmm…”
“Yeah so you see my dilemma.”
“I do?”
“You should.”
“I should?”
“Totally.”

[Pause]

“You mean, like… are you going to leave him?”
“Oh god… I can’t leave him.”
“Oh…”
“I said the romance was gone, not the love.”
“Oh. Yeah.”
“Yeah.”
“Wow.”
“Yeah. Totally.”

[Pause]

“You’re not cheating are you?”
“What!?”
“Just checking.”
“This sux.”
“Have you tried just kissing him?”
“What do you mean ‘just kissing him’?”
“You know, walk up to him, kiss him, walk away.”

“Well…”
“Oh you’re kidding.”
