Shortest romcom ever
"Since we're weirdly stuck sharing a bed in this overbooked hotel while our parents' houses are being fumigated, I may as well mention that I'm interested in you romantically."
"Oh? Actually, I feel kind of the same. But aren't you moving back to New York to take up that dream job?"
"No, rents are crazy there. I was thinking about staying here in town and working at the greeting card museum instead. But what about that person I saw you hugging in the coffee shop?"
"My sister's girlfriend. She's so sweet."
"I'm glad we communicated like normal adults instead of letting childish misunderstandings simmer for 300 pages."
"Yeah, me too. Let's turn out the lights."
