"Did you pack everything? Extra clothes in case I decide to throw you in the water again? Perfume that smells like lavender? It's my favorite kind you wore when I lived in California. Do you have the family credit card? You know your sisters will get pissed if you lose it. Oh! Before I forget did you pack-"
❝Quentin, love, I'm in the taxi right now heading to the airport with my parents. You do realize that even if I forgotten something, I could just buy it in New York? Also, you're meeting my parents at the airport.❞
"Wait. I'm meeting your parents at the airport?! Babe I'm not ready! I need to plan my outfit, I need to get Jackson and the rest of them out of the house, oh my god I need to clean there's so much cheese on the walls!"
❝Cheese on the walls?❞
"Let's just say the way Jackson and Henry got back together took a turn, but in the end their now very happy together! So, don't worry about the cheese I'll clean it! Oh no."
❝Please calm down everything will be fine, but I have to ask what is wrong now?❞
"What if your parents don't like me? What they think I'm just some homeless kid that has holes in his shoes?"
❝Q, do you have holes in your shoes right now?❞
"...Yes."
❝Buy new shoes before we get there. My parents are laughing at you in the backseat.❞
"Tell them that I can afford real shoes! Please! They have to like me!"
❝I'll let them know...later.❞
"Baby..."
❝We have to catch our flight now, but I'll call you the moment we land okay?❞
"Okay, okay, I'll speak to you soon."
❝Alright see you soon, I love you!❞
"...WHAT. WAIT."
❝...❞
"Nerissa? Did you just say you loved me back? I mean, I'm so happy because I was getting worried, but dammit why aren't you interrupting me?"
❝...❞
"You did not just hang up on me after you said I love you! Who does that?! ...Oh wait I did."
