"And the other part?"

"You should never start sentences with "and," you know. It's grammatically incorrect. I do it all the time, though, too..."

"You're avoiding the question."

"Does it really matter?"

"It does matter, because I want to know."

"The other part of me likes the comfort in it. The other part likes having a warm body to sleep next to, because it's easier than sleeping alone."

"Will you hate me for it when it ends?"

"Would it be easier for you if I did?"

"No, it wouldn't be easier. I'd miss having you as my friend if you hated me."

"I think I may hate you, but part of me won't."

"You and your parts."

"I like my parts."

"I like your parts."

"You like the wrong parts."

"I like all of them."

"That's obviously not true."

"It is."

"It's lip service."

"I do what I'm good at."

"You're not bitter."

"And you're contradicting yourself."

"I don't know what that means."

"I figured as much, and it would have ended on that basis eventually, anyways."

"Huh?"

"You're very pretty, you know."
