Quote by Bonnie Garmus

“I guess we’re both suspect, then,” Elizabeth said. “Calvin and I had sex nearly every day—completely normal for our youth and activity level—but because we weren’t married…” “Ah,” Walter said, paling. “Well—” “As if marriage has anything to do with sexuality—” “Ah—” “There were times,” she explained matter-of-factly, “that I would wake up in the middle of the night filled with desire—I’m sure that’s happened to you—but Calvin was in the middle of a REM cycle, so I didn’t disturb him. But then I mentioned it later and he was practically apoplectic. ‘No, Elizabeth,’ he said, ‘always wake me up. REM cycle or no REM cycle. Do not hesitate.’ It wasn’t until I did more reading on testosterone that I better understood the male sex drive—” “Speaking of drive,” Walter interrupted, his face scarlet. “I wanted to remind you to park in the north lot.”
