'Bronwyn Rojas, I solemnly swear not to murder you today or at any point in the future. Deal?''You're ridiculous,' she mutters, going even redder.'It concerns me you're avoiding a promise not to murder me.” ― Karen M. McManus, One of Us Is Lying

But because you're smart, and funny, and you do the right thing more often than you give youerself credit for. I like your horrible taste in movies and the way you never sugarcoat anything and the fact that you have an actual lizard. I'd be proud to be your girlfriend, even in a nonoffical capacity while we're, you know, being investigated for murder.
