“Then, yes?”
“If it was about sex, would you not answer?”
“I’d answer, yes. But if the question was a proposition or suggestion to partake in sex right now, then my answer would be no.”
I snorted out a laugh. “That wasn’t my question.”
“Then ask away.”
“If I were a breed of dog, what would I be?”
He froze. “What?”
“If I were a breed of dog, what breed would I be?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“A very serious and important kind of question.”
He was quiet for a second. “A golden retriever. Shaggy blond hair, cutest smile, big brown eyes, kindest heart. The very goodest of boys.”
I laughed. “Sounds like you’re a bit fond of me.”
He smacked my arm. “Oh shush. What kind of dog would I be?”
I sighed, long and loud. “What’s the smartest breed?”
“I’m not entirely sure. Alsatians rank high, I believe.”
“Like a police dog?No, you’re more of a border collie.”
“Are you saying I herd sheep?”
I laughed. “No. Ooh, I know. You’re a kelpie. Smart as hell, analytical thinker, can be savage if you need to be.”
“But I’m still herding sheep.”
“And if I were a cat, what kind of cat would I be?”
“One that can run fast because, if I’m still a kelpie—”
I burst out laughing. “No interspecies breeding allowed.”
“Oh my god, Tully. Why would your brain even go there?”
“Okay, next question, if we were to wake up tomorrow as a different species, would you still love me?”
“Well, yes, though there would be many varying factors. And so you’re aware, love doesn’t equal sex, and sex doesn’t equal love. They’re not mutually exclusive, you know.”
“I know. But you still didn’t answer. What are the varying factors?”
“It would depend on the difference in species. Are they compatible in any way, or are they natural born enemies?”
“Okay, you’rewayoverthinking this. It was really just a simple yes answer.”
“Then yes.”
“But what if I were a frog?”
