"Mary...like I said earlier, I want to see what this is. Whatever this is. Mainly...mainly I just want you," he said, shrugging. "I...it's different with us than it is with me and the other girls I'm friends with, you know? I don't feel some need to make Alice laugh. I don't just know when Evans walks into the room. But with you...it's that and other things too. Which made me think maybe there was more here."
"Wow," he said thoughtfully. "I don't think I've ever said that much about my feelings in my entire life."
