She laughed. “Oh, you know … just the guy I’m in love with.”

“Well, I can’t have that now, can I?”
“I’m waiting. I won’t ask again.”
“You sound like you’re jealous.”
“I’m going to sound a hell of a lot worse if you don’t tell me who he is before I lose my patience.”
“Hmmm…” She held her finger up to her mouth. “You have patience? I’ve never seen it. But since I don’t want to see The Hulk come out, I’ll tell you who my beloved Alexander Barrington is. He’s the hero of the book I’m reading.”

“She does, but they can’t stay away from each other. Even though he’s dating her sister.”
“Doesn’t sound like much of a hero to me, Baby Soph.”
“It’s a long story.”
“It always is.”

“And which one is your favorite?”
“The last one?”
“Why is that? Do they end up together?”
“They do, but they go through a lot to get there.”

“Are we ever going to talk about what happened that night with your dad?”
“Sophie—”
“Has he done that before?”
“What? Try to parent me?”
