“Anyway, thrift stores depress me. All those unwanted things that people have given up or gotten tired of, lined up on shelves under unflattering lighting, all lonely and abandoned.” She twists her napkin between her fingers. Shreds of it flutter down to form a drift on the table underneath her hands. “Like, you see a mug that says “I love you Daddy” in fingerpaints? That’s fucking sad, man.” He nods. He can’t imagine giving away anything Sasha made for him. They’re quiet for a minute, each staring blindly in front of them.
“Maybe you shouldn’t think of them as unwanted,” he suggests finally. “Maybe…maybe you should think they’re getting a second chance. That they’re just waiting for the right person to come along and take them home where they really belong.”

“I guess I just don’t see why marrying me and having babies would be so bad,” she says softly, curling her fingers around her keys. She looks so sad when she says it. Her chin dips and she looks like she might cry and before he knows it he’s falling at her clumsily, pushing her body against the wall and covering her mouth with his. She stiffens for a moment, her hands coming up to his chest as her keys fall to the floor with a jangling sound, but she doesn’t push. Instead her hands curl and take hold of the lapels of his jacket and her mouth opens under his.
