okay. the ending. the chef finally says it and the guy says "i know. i've known since the risotto." go
Davis
the risotto Thompson. the RISOTTO. that's chapter nine. he knew the whole time and let the man cook for him anyway because he didn't want to scare him off before he was ready
Marchetti
he was never not going to say yes. that's the part that got me. four years and the answer was always yes, the chef just had to get there
Davis
i'm not okay. i have not been okay since chapter nineteen
Hájek
i want to say a thing and i am only going to say it one time
Kowalski
oh no he's going to be sincere
Hájek
we have read eight of these now across the season. i did not start out a person who reads about feelings. i started out a person who reads about whether the stick is the correct stick
Berger
the stick is usually the wrong stick
Hájek
the stick is always the wrong stick. that is not my point. my point is i have learned more about myself from eight romance novels than from anything else i have done in this country. i did not expect that. i am noting it for the record
Marchetti
Hájek that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said in this chat
Davis
i'm crying at a Cup party. this is your fault Hájek
Thompson
it helped. i'll say it once too and then we never speak of it. this dumb thing helped. it was a long year. we won the whole thing and i don't think we get there if we're not also doing this together. whatever this is
Kowalski
a book club. it's a book club Thompson
Thompson
it's barely a book club
