““I do have one question,” Jack said, glancing down to the spot at the end of the couch where their feet were tangled together. “Why do you always poke your feet out from the end of the blanket? You’ve done it every night we’ve been together. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and covered your feet, and yet every morning when I wake up, they’re poking out from under the covers again.” “I don’t know,” Ivy mused. “I’ve just always done it.

I can’t explain it.” “I find it cute,” Jack said. “I have no idea why, though.” “Your feet are out, too,” Ivy pointed out. “My feet are out because they didn’t want your feet to be lonely,” Jack said. “My feet are … chivalrous.””
