"Right?" Jack said. "I know exactly what you're saying. Isn't it funny how quickly we decided to believe all this crazy shit and just go with it? It's so completely irrational, but at the same time it just feels so right, doesn't it?" "It does," Brayden said. "Hey, did you bother to let your job know you'd be taking some time off?" "Uh-uh, you?" "Nah, I'm sure it'll all work out. Come to think of it, I didn't tell anyone where I was going. Friends, family, no one." "Me neither," Jack said. "In fact, I don't think I even bothered to lock my apartment door." "I'm pretty sure I left the stove on.”” [Jay Michael](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jay-michael/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
