"Nah, I don't love her. But she's, you know, good where it counts," said Bob.
"Bob, if I didn't know better, I'd say you are in love with Shelly," said Ron.
"Bite your tongue, Ron. The next thing is you'll be trying to convince me to marry her."
"Why not?"
"I think it's better this way. There's no pressure on the relationship," said Bob.
"What's the difference, except that she'll be all the more happy because you made a commitment?"
"Whatever. Shelly doesn't need that crap. She's in it for the sex just like me."
"So why don't you ask her and then you'll know, Bob?"
"Why rock the boat?"
"Don't you ever want kids?"
"What for? She doesn't want them, either."
"Okay, I'll leave you alone. It's your life and none of my business," said Ron.
Later that night, Bob was curled up around Shelly. They were both hot and sweaty as usual. Bob could tell she was asleep and he whispered, "I love you and I want to get married."
She curled up into him and said, "Ditto."
