I never thought I would see you again!” His words were muffled by my hair that he was currently nuzzling very affectionately. I wanted to relish in the affection, but I knew it was wrong.

As Mark is walking a marathon in here, I notice that our apartment looks peculiarly similar to that of Joey and Chandler’s in the sitcom Friends.
