Zoe: I like plans. I like to live by them. I like to know what my future holds. Sure, none of my plans have worked as they should have, and my future is murky at best. But one thing I know for sure is that Matteo Loverson does not fit into it.

Matteo: What can I say? I like open-plan spaces, and your heart was too closed off.

Zoe: For a good reason. I'm a single mom. I can't afford my one-night stands to show up and declare they are moving in. I can't fall in love with a man who is younger than me and never has been in a committed relationship.

Matteo: Sure you can, beastie. Because I'm not leaving.
