shut up. tell me. by katie heaney.

R: Do you think that we're going to end up alone and living together for our whole lives because we'll never find love?
K: Probably.
R: They write books about women like that.
K: Who's "they"? Who are these women?
R: I don't know, I heard a thing on NPR once about two sisters who lived together forever.
K: So two people.
R: Well yeah! But there will be a book...or radio show...about us, at least.
K: I think I am much more likely to be the one alone. You have to visit me and the twenty dogs I'll have.
R: No, I think you'll meet someone in your field.
K: Mmhmm. Writing alone from home. Or at a feminist nonprofit.
R: You will! I can see him now in the office. He's sort of sensitive but really strong.
K: You are just making up a person. The office I'd work at would have NO men.
R: Well okay he's like a really hot cop....
K: This is just Bridesmaids.
R: ...and he'd be at one of the crime scenes where you're helping a victim...
K: I wouldn't be working at CRIME SCENES!!!!!!! You are literally thinking of Law & Order: SVU because we've been watching it so much.
R: Well.
