He's only nineteen, and I hope he doesn't see me as too…
““He's only nineteen, and I hope he doesn't see me as too young for him. That would ruin my plans to flirt with him – not to start something up, of course, just to flirt for the hell of it. It's a law of nature, like a cat with something shiny; dangle it in front of her long enough and eventually she'll paw at it. Only in this case, I'm the cat and Matt is something shiny. The pawing part is the same.””
