Meg Cabot Quote

Good, he said. We need to talk. Suddenly, I didn't feel so relaxed anymore. Talk? What does he want to talk about? The part where I nearly died? I didn't want to talk about that. Because the fact is, that whole part, the part where I nearly died, well, I nearly died trying to save him. Seriously. I was hoping he hadn't noticed, but I could tell by the look on his face that he totally had. Noticed, I mean. And now he wanted to talk about it. But how could I talk about it? Without letting it slip? The L word, I mean. You know what? I said, very fast. I don't want to talk. Is that okay? I really, really don't want to talk. I am all talked out. Jesse lifted Spike of his lap and put him on the floor. Then he stood up. What was he doing? I wondered. What was he doing? I took a deep breath, and kept talking about not talking. I'm just--Look, I said as he took a step toward me. I'm just going to give CeeCee a call and maybe we'll go to the beach or something, because really...I just need a day off. Another step forward. Now he was right in front of me. Especially, I said, significantly, looking up at him, from talking. That's especially what I need a day off from. Talking. Fine, he said. He reached up and cupped my face in both hands. We don't have to talk.
