We both love it when the leaves turn color, and helping people put up their Christmas lights, and getting up early, and working out, and crushing karaoke, and making a difference. I think you're very hot when you're all dressed up. I think you're very hot when you're in your old-ass pajamas. And I know, I know that my jokes are dumb, but they made you laugh. And your laugh is like my favorite sound in the whole wide world."
