Summary
“I didn’t think there’d be people like us here,” Alex comments as she polishes off her ice cream cone, and three words reverberate in Seth’s mind. People like us.
It makes her think back to when she was a kid, how her tomboyishness was endearing then, how her masculinity went from cute and acceptable to isolating the second she showed up at her bat mitzvah in a suit and tie (something she had begged to wear) with her hair cropped close to her head. But here’s Alex; all lace and leather and fishnets, big hoop earrings, platinum blonde pompadour standing tall on her head, bright purple streak standing out. Visibly queer in a way that’s different than anyone she has ever seen before.
“Yeah, well, you know now,” Seth finally says.

Summary
“You know I don’t like tea.”
“Well, you’ve hardly let me make you tea. I guarantee you you’ll like mine."
Lisbon scoffs, ripping open a packet and pouring it into her coffee. “Right. I bet you say that to all the girls,” she says as she grabs a stirrer.
“Not all the girls,” Jane says, and she can practically hear the smirk in his voice. “Just you.”

Summary
When she'd been debating whether or not to get involved with him, she'd imagined that, given his personal history, he would be the paranoid one, cooking up elaborate schemes to keep her out of the line of fire. It had never occurred to her that she might be the one losing her mind instead.

Summary
"Don't be silly," she told him. "We can't get engaged now. We just had sex for the first time."
"Exactly," he said. "In many times and places it would be a terrible scandal we've left it this long. I'm not a cad, I have every intention of making an honest woman of you."
