Cecily: I am in desperate love.

Alexander: How wonderfully romantic. And you live in the same city and there are no dark forces beyond either of your control stipulating your relationship’s demise. How incredible it must be to experience a coup de foudre without worry of the immediate future.

Cecily: I worry even more because there is none of that. If it fucks up, it will be because of one of us and not some dark force catalysing or forcing our inevitable demise.
