Of course. [She pulls the blanket up a bit more to help block out the light. She'd turn them all off if she wouldn't need to get up and go back to the kitchen eventually.]
It's a book about an emotionally isolated and difficult woman finding love and coming to grips with incredibly trauma thanks to an amazing individual she meets on a beach.
[What an incredibly convoluted way of saying she's reading a boring romance book. Or something.]

[Well, it's going to be difficult to ignore them if they crawl around her torso or her breasts but otherwise it should mostly be fine!]
Keep watching.
[They're not even to the shocking part yet.]

[No?? She did not know this!!!]
Oh my god, do you like Property Brothers?!
[She's so incredibly hopeful that it could almost be sad.]

I mean, it is a little different. [But she isn't going to use the word 'weird' because that's a little too intense and also because weird ins't necessarily bad, either.]
But I think that part of it is sort of cool.
[What does that even mean. What does she do to make the chemistry right itself onto the correct track??? It probably involves her being in less pain than she is right now.]
I can kind of see why you might not want to tell women about this part.

They're considering making it into a movie. It's much better than the bodice ripper Lena decided to give me. Something about horses.
[And she and Boxer were way cooler than horses.
She reaches under the blanket to run her fingers through his hair a bit.] Besides, I can't imagine a happier story than ours.

[Half the appeal is how illogical it is!!]
They're adorable. How do you feel about Chip and Joanna, though?
[From Fixer Upper. ... Nariko actually couldn't stand them, they seemed way more staged than any couple should have to be.]

[What nice tenta-friends.]
Just watch!
[She's not gonna spoil it!]

[What.]
... Right, because it's not as if millions of women don't have their periods and ovulate all the time.
[Look, she'd been kind of weirded out because she thought it might have been a problem for him or that she smelled like heavy period blood 24/7. Not because she had some misconception about privacy. This obnoxious, ritualistic pain went on whether a monsterkind could smell it or not.]

Well that was unexpected.
[... Is he okay? Is he so feverish that she needs to consider the hospital?]
Well, it's a story that occurs in big segments, so we're very far off from the ending, don't worry. [She bends and twists to be able to kiss his forehead.]
Instead of coming up with an ending we'll just read another story, it won't be as cool but it'll tie up neatly enough, I'm sure.
[ .... She'll read fanfiction on her phone and just change the names when she reads it to him ...]

You're the sweetest.
[He likes everyone, very rarely loathes anyone - he's the positive yin to her occasionally bitter yang. Bless. But it turns out that they do get the HGTV channel!!]
Hell yes!
[They're on vacation and they're gonna watch home improvement shows.]

It's like a warped superpower.
[Who knows when her own mild uneasiness turned into a morbid fascination. She's about to mention how wild it is that it's better in the water except-]
Oh, well that makes sense considering everything you have to do in there. You know, sometimes I'd give anything to see the world the way you do for a little bit.

[Total sweethearts ♥
But as far as his reaction is concerned she reaches over to pat his arm. It's okay Boxer, let the feelings about movies wash over you. Enjoy the moment.
Until the ending and the mild lack of resolution threatens to crush your soul.]

Oh. [... Man, how did that work? Wouldn't the hooves be a little bit of a concern and the positioning -- Okay now is not the time to think about that. She rubs his back in wide, slightly firm motions. Boxer is the only one allowed to cough into an eight hundred dollar dress, man. That's some real love.]
I feel like this is another reminder that I'm supposed to tell you about college if you tell me about your exes. [Because she just keeps forgetting to relate some of those adventures.
Also probably something awful like Law&Order or Bones type shows, fanfiction of that, where the fic writers characterizations are way more fleshed out and poignant than the actual crappy network writing.]
