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
