Serena

You realize there’s something seriously wrong with you, right?

Rafe

Ehh. We’re family now. You’re stuck with me.

Serena

We are not family.

Rafe

Your cousin married my brother. Pretty sure that makes us family.

Serena

He’s not even your biological or legal brother. You just call him that.

Rafe

Family is the people you decide belong in your life.

I could be your family, little Kingston.

Serena

I have enough family, Rafe.

Rafe

Good because incest isn’t my thing.

Serena

I already told you I’m not going on a date with you.

Rafe

Can’t blame a guy for trying.

Serena

I’m not in any shape to deal with men right now.

Rafe

Does that mean you could be in the future?

Serena

Doubtful.

Rafe

But there’s hope.
