1. "I like your stupid face. It’s so stupid. It’s so… I like it. Can I touch it?"
2. "You're all I ever wanted. I'm sorry I can't say it sober."
3. "I can't wait for the room to stop spinning, so I can focus on your face again."
4. "I would love to hear those words in any other place than this bathroom, holding your hair back."
5. "You're cute. And a bit blurry. But definitely always so cute."
6. "I think I love you." "And I would love to answer you accordingly, but I think I would appreciate it more when you’re actually able to understand my answer."
7. "Don't tell my sober me that I told you I love you. It was a secret."
8. "I…I want to give you my heart. It belongs to… to you. How… how can I give it to you? I don’t want it anymore." "Let’s wait until tomorrow with the surgery."
9. "Oh I'm dreaming of you again. If I wouldn't be dreaming and if you would be really here, then I would tell you I love you."
10. "I love you. But that's a secret. So I won't tell you about it."
11. "You're drunk." "Yes. And hopelessly in love with you."
12. "I'm seeing you twice. Oh, now I can give all my love to even more of you."
13. "Say that again after two coffees at least and I will be yours."
14. "You're so adorable. I want to pick you up and never let you down."
15. "I've always loved you. But I will never tell you."
16. "This is not a dream, I think. In my dreams we're usually kissing."
17. "I’m not drunk. Can a drunk person do this?" "You’re not doing anything." "But… I sent you my love. Did you… did you not get it?"
18. "Can you keep a secret? I am madly in love with you. But psshh."
19. "I fell in love with you." "No, you fell down the stairs. You should really learn to hold your liquor."
20. "You're so perfect. How can anyone be so perfect? Maybe you're just a dream."

“Chris used to sleep like this,” Eddie laughs softly. “When we first moved here and he wasn’t settled yet." “You talking about cuddling your kid the same way you’re cuddling me is not helping me feel less weird,” Buck says. (In which falling in love was the easy part, and learning how to actually be together is another beast entirely. They work it out. )
