"So, feels weird to be talking like this without a phone to cock block."
❝We can go straight back to the phone if you want...❞
"Ha! No! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"
❝Sounds like you're about to kill me.❞
"And?"
❝Q...you are very bad at dates.❞
"I am not! Watch!"
❝Gah! Quentin! Not funny!❞
"You questioned my dating skills."
❝You threw wine at my dress!❞
"It's funny bedsides you could always wash it out...ack!"
❝Ha ha ha! Pay back is a bitch!❞
"This tie cost forty dollars! You pulled it and dipped it into the cheese!"
❝And?❞
"I really like you."
❝...❞
"Awe, you're blushing!"
❝...I am not.❞
"We both ruined each others outfit, so why don't we go take a dip in the lake?"
❝You're changing the subject...ah never-mind. No, I will not go take a dip in that mucky lake where the lock-ness monster lives.❞
"Doesn't Oliver call you Nessie though?"
❝Besides the point! I'm not going into the lake!❞
"Please? I promise I won't let you drown."
❝Just a few minutes earlier you didn't deny that you wanted to kill me. How do I know this isn't some trick?❞
"I really hope you're joking, but your face looks dead serious."
❝I'm joking.❞
"Great! Lets go!"
❝What? Quentin let go of my hand!❞
"Okay."
❝Quentin that doesn't mean grab my waist! Ah! Put me down! Put me down!❞
"Relax dimples, it'll be fun...when I throw you in."
❝...THROW ME IN?!❞
"One...two..."
❝QUENTIN PUT ME DOWN!❞
"Three!"
❝...Ack...ugh...idiot...I...can't...swim!❞
"You...what?"
❝I...can't....fucking swim!❞
"Shit, shit, shit."
❝...❞
"Nerissa? I'm going in after you!"
❝...❞
