I think that’s cool.”I didn’t quite get his answer, but I didn’t want to prolong the conversation. [...]That’s when it dawned on me what Greg had meant. [...] Um, that’s charity, Greg, not chastity.He is so not the right guy for me.(137-138)”

“Is it just me, or is that guy the coolest boyfriend ever invented?" "It’s not just you."
