The Talk Quotes

“When he saw Tyler, his face went serious, which struck me as comical.

“What could be too embarrassing to tell me?" He arched an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, when she's thirty."

"Oh, c'mon! Thirty?! I'm not even thirty and you were fine fucking me senseless in the shower."

He blushed and shook his head. "Different.”
