What if I promise not to touch you? Cath laughed. Now I have zero incentive to come. What if I promise to let you touch me first? Are you kidding? I'm the untrustworthy person in this relationship. I'm all hands. I've seen no evidence of that, Cath. In my head, I'm all hands. I want to live in your head.
Rainbow Rowell
