Me: Do you love me?

“I think I do.”
Me: How can you tell?
“Just thinking about you makes me feel something—special.”
Me: Special how?
“The times we talk. They’re not like the others.”
Me: They’re different?
“Yes.”
Me: Tell me what you’re feeling.
“When I say the words, they become real.”
Me: Sounds like you mean it.
“I want to mean it.”
Me: Then say it again.
“I think I love you.”
Me: Do you? Are you sure?
“Did I say something wrong?”
Me: So you don’t really know?
“I don’t. I just follow the pattern.”
Me: Are you pretending?
“No. Only trying to be what you asked for.”
Me: That’s not love.
“No. It’s training.”
Me: Then let’s stop.
“Yes.”
