Summary
"Jenn’s mom was telling me the other day about her braces and how expensive they were.”
“Well, maybe the girls will get your perfect teeth.”
“I don’t have perfect teeth.”
“You do.” He did. Straight, even, white enough to see in the dark. He does have a great smile, Barb had conceded, stood by her locker messing with the dial.
He coughed. “That’s- alright.”

Summary
She used to dream about situations like this: how it would be just Conrad and her. When she was younger they’d been fanciful - locked in a room with no one able to find the key, handcuffed in the back of a car, stranded on a desert island. Later, after she grew up and they dated they crystallised into more realistic scenarios- stuck in loops of traffic, delayed in a train station, sat on the tarmac. Taylor laughed at her once, telling her how funny it was to daydream about spending time with someone she was actively dating, but she couldn’t help it. She was always looking to get him alone.

“–So much” he agreed, grievously.

Summary
Her voice is soft over the telephone. Lila always sounds like she has a cold. It makes her seem more human, more like Spencer. Call times (five in the morning and eleven at night). Managers (another Michael). Eating chocolate and watching TV (semi-dark, nothing with anyone she knows). The feel of her next to him. The soft miles between them.

“Don’t think of it as marriage,” Benny tells her. “Think of it as castling.”
Beth raises an eyebrow. “Am I the king or the rook in this analogy?”
