Was it zero sex last year for you, too?” “Yes,” he admitted. “I love you, you weren’t there—what was I going to do?” “Are you actually embarrassed, ” she asked, “because you weren’t some kind of man-ho and—” “No,” Max said. “I’m embarrassed that it took me an entire fucking year and a half and the worst scare of my life to figure out that I can’t live without you.””
