I think we’re officially best friends now,” she says. “Oh yeah? Do you want to go do karate in the garage?

You’re all the best things to me, Sloane. No matter how many bruises are in your heart or on your skin.

You’re my friend. Maybe someday my best friend.

I wish you would have stayed, Blackbird. I would have taken you back into the kitchen. We could have made something together.” “You were busy. I was…intruding.” “I would have made time for you. You’re…” I swallow before I can say more than I should. “You’re my friend. Maybe someday my best friend.

You’re right about all those worries that are circling around in your head. Maybe all of them are true. But maybe it shouldn’t matter, because everyone messes up. We all let each other down once in a while. And sometimes the best things come out of the fire.

Sloane Sutherland, my beautiful Blackbird. From the moment I met you, you changed the course of my life. I can’t remember anything being fun or exciting or new without you. I can’t remember feeling anything but numb until you burst into my world in your smelly little cage of orzo pastas … I can’t envision the future without you in it. And I don’t want to, not ever. So marry me, Sloane, and we’ll go on crazy adventures forever and fuck shit up, and be best friends and do karate in the garage and make love every day and grow old together. Because I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather spend all those moments with than you.

That you’ll probably never meet someone like him again. That he’s probably the only one out there like you. That you could mess it up. Or he could let you down. Or that maybe your friendship could go up in flames. You’re right about all those worries that are circling around in your head. Maybe all of them are true.

I’m counting this as a win.” “That’s fair.” “That’s three for me. Best of five.” “Deserved. Totally.” “And I’m still very angry with you.” “I get it, love.” “I want to stab you.” “Yeah, that makes sense. Please not my dick though. Or my balls. Or my pretty face.
