“—Emma. Nice to meet you.”
❝ Nice to meet you too, Emma.
Are you new here, or am I just a total hermit? ❞

”—Right. So who are you?”
❝ Name’s Ava. And you? ❞

“Then what’s the point?”
❝ Same point as Roses or Chocolates,
so people can be assholes to their boyfriend or girlfriend for the rest of the year. ❞

“—Oh yeah. Life of the party.”
❝ Yeah, I bet. ❞

“They taste like chalk.”
❝ Why do you think they’re so cheap? ❞

“Pretty sure that’s a line from a movie.”
❝ You must be fun at parties. ❞

“These candy hearts aren’t even good.”
❝ They’re candy hearts. What did you expect? ❞

❝ No, no I’m fine.
I just have something in my eye.
Like a twig, or a branch. ❞
