“Internet access came before pride. ”

“You are not the first, and will not be the last, to say so. I wear my “warped” label with pride.”

“Matt laughed. "Close. That was last year. This year it's Obsessive Deovtion to Fourier Analysis Theory and Applications. And my personal favorite, Quantum Physics II: Romantic Entanglements of Energy and Matter."Julie turned her head to Matt. "You're a double major? Physics and math? Jesus...""I know. Nerdy." He shrugged."No, I'm impressed. I'm just surprised your brains fit in your head.""I was fitted with a specially desinged compression filter that allows excessive information to lie dormant until I need to access it. It's only the Beta version, so excuse any kinks that may appear. I really can't be held responsible.”

“And you're everything I don't want." Julie pushed away, breaking his embrace, and shook her head. "If you loved me, you couldn't have done this. You couldn't have been so careless with me. You know pain, and loss, and hurt better than anyone." She hated each word as it came out of her mouth. "And that's what you gave me. I know that it's not the same. I know yours is worse. I'm so sorry for you, Matt. For your whole family. You've all been through hell. And you've been braver than anyone could. But I hurt now, too. And I can't love you.”

“Nobody gets their period for the first time and has a nervous breakdown next to a Kohler toilet. Men have such stupid ideas about menstruation, don’t they, Julie?”

“I'm done peeing now.""Thank you for letting me know.”

“Happy New Year, Julie.”“Happy New Year, Matty.” She turned off the television and rolled onto her side. “Matty, I have another question for you.”“Uh-oh.”“Are you a skilled lover?”“And that concludes our evening chat.”
