Liza rolled her eyes. "Or you could just fall the fuck in love."

"No," Min said as several people turned to look at her. "You have to be sensible. It's not silly love songs and sloppy kisses, it's dangerous. People die for it. People die from it. Wars are fought.Empires fall."
"Uh, Min..."
"It can ruin your life," Min said, shutting her eyes so she wouldn't look for Cal. "Which is why I'm staying friends with Cal, nothing more. I'd have to be insane to think there could be anything permanent. Masochistic. Suicidal. Delusional."
"Uh huh," Liza said.
"So that's my plan," Min said. "And I'm sticking to it."
