![“Yes, we are [friends] and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often…” quote by Jeanette Winterson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e87/jeanette-winterson-166_bother_yes-we-are-friends-and-i-do-like-to-pass_771703.jpg)
