That's not the point," he said. "What kind of creep would I be if I let my girl carry something heavy while I walked along, swinging my arms?" Your girl? "The kind that respects my wishes," she said. "And my strength, and my... arms." Levi grinned some more. Because he wasn't taking her seriously. "I have a lot of respect for your arms. I like how they're attached to the rest of you.

You shouldn't reward me for endangering your life, you know. Think of the precedent you're setting.

I miss you." "That's stupid," she said. "I saw you this morning." "It's not the time," Levi said, and she could hear that he was smiling." It's the distance.

Take your vitamins. Don't drink vodka. Get used to empire waistlines.

I want everyone to meet you. You're my favorite person of all time.
