Matt: You still don’t get it…
Anah: THEN EXPLAIN IT TO ME!
Matt: I’ve never felt like this for anyone before… so hopeless… so in love…
Matt: It terrifies me to be so dependent on you.
Matt: The thought of losing you… it doesn’t bear thinking about.
Matt: I thought if you could just switch it off so easily…
Matt: Girls always think that the guy is going to hurt them, but the girl could just as easily hurt the guy.
Anah: I hate you…
Matt: I don’t blame you. I hate me too after I acted like a jerk to you.
Anah: No, I hate you for being so damn adorable when I’m mad at you!
Matt: I don’t blame you for being mad at me.
Anah: Next time, can you just tell me how you feel, instead of shutting me out?
Matt: There won’t be a next time. I promise.
Anah: Do I get today’s clue now?
Matt: Uh… sure. Just let me think of one.
Matt: Ok… I have a tattoo.
Anah: Is it a visible one?
Matt: No…
Anah: Then where is it?
Matt: Can’t tell you that.
Anah: *eye roll* Is it somewhere… uh, intimate?
Matt: Define intimate.
Anah: Must I?
Matt: It’s on my torso.
Anah: Well, unless you decide to run around shirtless, that isn’t really much of a clue for me. I’ve never seen any of the Matts with their top off.
Matt: I should hope not.
Matt: Anah?
Anah: Yeah?
Matt: I’m sorry.
Matt: And I love you…
Matt: I’ll amend that… I am utterly devoted to you because I adore you to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
Anah: Quoting Browning?
Matt: I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun…
Anah: And quoting Austen. You must be feeling really guilty. You’ll be reciting Shakespeare next!
Matt: Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.
Anah: And there it is! Quoting the Bard is always the best way to get into a girl’s good books.
Matt: Did it work?
Anah: Like a charm.
Matt: So, I’m forgiven?
Anah: Well…
Anah: I love you too, Honey Bun.
Matt: You have bewitched me, body and soul… and I love… I love… I love you.
Anah: I’m a sucker for Mr. Darcy.
Matt: *winks* Why do you think I’m quoting him?
Anah: Because you’re a sap?
Matt: Only for you, Penguin.
