"Hey."
"Happy Saturday."
"Happy Saturday."
"So...would you like...die right now if my mom wanted to meet you?"
"Depends. Is she going to be alone?"
"Most likely."
"...Then yes."
"And if it was my dad?"
"You'll see me running in the opposite direction."
"Jace, he's not that bad. I mean, I met your parents. They like me."
"That's different. My parents aren't so..."
"Crazy? I know. They're nice though."
"...I don't want to die, Ana. I like how I'm living right now."
"Aw. Am I making you happy?"
"I wasn't talking about you but... If it makes you feel better about yourself..."
"You're such an ass."
"Thank you."
"...But seriously. You're meeting my mom. Get dressed."
"...You're serious?!"
"Gosh, you'll be fine. My mom is harmless."
"..."
"I'll be by your side the whole time. Don't worry."
"...That's reassuring. Thanks."
"I try."
