“Kate, I am here to take the first steps in overcoming our insanity one last time, for both of us. Because it’s Christmas. And because we’re good together. I’m back on the diet. Not for you, for me.

The one thing I cannot live without is you. Six hours in a middle seat gives a guy plenty of time to prepare an entrance.”
