Maxie: I wish I didn’t like you so much.
Matt: What? Where did that come from?
Maxie: This whole situation with Patrick and Robin. I don’t know. It’s like, big, huge alarms going off—dare to love, and this, too, could happen to you. Validates all the reasons never to invest your heart.
Matt: Well, my takeaway’s a little bit different. Yeah, life is going to throw a bunch of curveballs at a relationship. But it’s not the important part.
Maxie: What is?
Matt: It’s the getting through, beaten, battered, bruised, whatever. Once you’re on that other side, you’ve made it. You’re together. You’re in love. All that is worth the risk.
