Molly

We don’t want to add physical stuff to the relationship.

It’ll just make the divorce messy.

Avery

Sometimes a good kiss is worth making things messy ;)

Molly

I honestly don’t think Matthew even likes me like that. He’s doing me a favor.

Lily

Kissing as a favor?

Molly

My parents may not even approve of our marriage.

Avery

How could they not like Matthew? He’s the definition of unproblematic

I can send a letter of recommendation on his behalf!

Do you think it would help?

Lily

Dear Mrs. Greene, Matthew is a fine, responsible man who would make your daughter come in every library around the world.XO, Avery Soko

I can’t help but laugh.

Avery

It could help

Molly

I appreciate it, Ave. But I doubt my mom would be that easily convinced.

Look, I don’t know. My feelings are all over the place.

Avery

Have you ever considered this may be real? That you’ve developed actual feelings?

Lily

Or that you’re just very horny sharing a bed with a hot man??????

Are my feelings valid, or have Matthew and I been forced together? Is my crush inflating my emotions? Ugh. Not this again. I can’t possibly get myself to believe there’s more between us.

I’ve never been in love, so how would I know what it feels like?

Molly
