“Ohmygod! Ohmygod! Ohmygooooooooood!”
“Did you hear what he said? Did you? Ohmygod!”
“He said that he loved me! And he didn’t qualify it or anything. He didn’t say he loved my laugh or that he loved the way I did that one thing that I sometimes do when I’ve had a little to drink. He just said, ‘I love you, Kelly.’ Do you think he meant it? He can’t take it back, can he?”
“Oh, Lord….what did I just do?
“I’ve never done that before. Not even to get, um, something that I wanted, if you know what I mean?”
“So…..what now?”
“Okay, now I, like, have a huge problem.”
“It’s just that, well, I know that I throw that L-word around a lot. I like, say it all the time to people. I think I’ve told both Dwight and Creed that I love them. And I say it all the time to Ryan. I even call him in the middle of the night to say it to him. I guess I’ve never thought about if I actually meant it. And now, well, Ryan….he just…he just looked so serious when he said it. Those blue eyes staring into mine…I felt it…he meant it.”
“This is, like, really serious.”
[Feelings usually are.]
“I don’t know what to do.”
“Oh.my.god! Oh.my.god! Wow! Just, like, wow! I think she loves me. I think she really loves me. Cool.”
