Carol AnshowIn order to keep liking Nick (as opposed to loving him which was completely non-negotiable) Alice sometimes had to look at him obliquely or with her eyes half closed or through a pin hole on a piece of cardboard. Straight on would burn her retinas.
About This Quote
Alice once told Nick that she liked him. However, when they got together for the first time, they had sex and Alice’s social skills, which had always been lacking, came in handy. She was talking with her friends about sex and Nick walks in. She said “the only reason I like him is because he has a great body.
I can’t stand his personality. So no way am I gonna give him any of my number.” Alice didn’t just like him, she gave him her number. Despite having an awesome personality, Alice could not handle the reality of liking Nick.
As hard as it may be to believe, Alice was not able to handle that someone liked her back. It is not that she couldn’t handle that Nick liked her back but rather the fact that someone actually did like her back
