You. I want you and I don't want to be a luxury. I want you to need me. I want you to not be able to concentrate because you're thinking about me. I want you to reach for your phone because you thought of something you have to share with me. I want you to not even be able to breathe at the thought of never seeing me again, because that's how I feel about you, Paige. I want to be a necessity.

He and Beth were both adults, but that didn't make telling his parents he'd accidentally gotten a woman pregnant any easier. "Lot easier to walk with your fly zipped," Leo grumbled.
