him: it's not a big deal to say, "hey, i miss you."
her: yeah, it kind of is. what do i gain from it? relief from my own honesty? in the end, i'm still gonna miss them, and the only thing that would change is whether they know that or not.
him: say it to me. practice.
her: you're gonna miss me, i know it?
him: that's not the same.
her: i know. but it doesn't matter because you might think i'm joking, and that's the whole point. the sincerity is ambiguous, but if you believed it, we're still good. but if i said what i really wanted to say - well, i'm not joking, and there's only one way you can take it that it'd be okay for me.
him: you can't keep doing that.
her: so sue me.
him: most people would be happy to feel something like that so strongly.
her: it's unnatural is what that is.
him: babe, that's called love.
