Pixie Spaz: So we are married.

Me: Yes?

Me: But obviously, it’s a contract marriage. Those papers you filled in yesterday, remember those? They are for one solid year.

Pixie Spaz: I know, but… does this mean we aren’t allowed to date other people during this agreement? Me: Are you feeling lonely, Hannah? Even after our morning together? Wasn’t it enough?

Me: Yes, sleeping with you is bad enough.

Pixie Spaz: So wait… you’re okay having sex with me, but dating me is where you draw the line?
