"I hope it all keeps going smoothly for you then, girl. If you're in the same boat as me and you ain't got a lover to cuddle up to at night, sometimes you gotta turn to your friends to give you that same companionship," Mercedes murmured. Not that she could deny to herself that she really would love someone to cuddle up to at night... at least seeing Kurt find that was the next best thing for her.

She shrugged. "You're talking in the very extreme, though. You live with it for a few months, and suddenly you think you can avoid it altogether forever so you cut yourself off from... being happy? Makes no sense when life can be a hell of a long time for some of us. But if you wanna just be half-satisfied and without conflict, looks like you're at least on the right track, I guess."
