"But just because you don’t make art doesn’t mean you don’t inspire it."-Clare Gilmore, Love Interest
"I won’t be good at it,' I admit to Alex softly, biting my lip. 'Even worse, I’ll probably choke.' His expression goes soft and open, and maybe even a little bit tortured, like my words have bothered him in a way I didn’t intend and certainly don’t understand. He opens his mouth and pushes himself off the wall, but right then, the elevator doors open."-Clare Gilmore, Love Interest
"The funny part is my gut reaction is to come up with something to say next that won't make him uncomfortable. What would I do otherwise? Cause a scene? Claim harassment by a man who likely helped pay for the open bar I'm drinking at because he tapped my hip and clavicle? I hate myself a little for the passivity of it, but in professional situations like this, with my literal livelihood at stake, I revert to a sacred little girl who has internalized that under no circumstances should she ruffle affluent society's feathers."-Clare Gilmore, Love Interest
