“Just show me where you want him. You can take the first shower, princess.”“How very thoughtful of you.

“I lied. I do that, you know, when it suits me. I would have thought you'd realized that by now.”

“[...] “I want to wake up with you in the morning, I want to fight with you in the afternoon, and I want to make love on any and every available surface in this place. And then I want to do it all over again. Come upstairs with me, Sophie. I’ll keep you warm. I’ll keep the darkness away.”
