“It's so weird that adults in committed relationships have a problem with something so innocuous as flirting. And it's easily the best thing I've ever felt.” This feels safe, and steadfast, and predictable. No sitting in my car outside her house at dawn, to make sure she's alone when she leaves. No checking her emails or calling her job to make sure she's actually there. No parsing through spun tales about why it took her so long to come back from the store. I don't walk around mired in uneasiness, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Or what you could possibly do to make it come home and stay there. It never leaves you wondering who could possibly be texting at 3 am. It's not a game you don't understand the rules of, or a test you never got the materials to study for. “Real love feels less like a throbbing, pulsing animal begging for its freedom and beating against the inside of my chest and more like, 'Hey, that place you like had fish tacos today and i got you some while i was out', as it sets a bag spotted with grease on the dining room table.
