"Let's stand under a tree," she said
"Why?"
"Because its nicer"
"Maybe you should sit on a chair, and I'll stand above you, like they always do with husbands and wives"
"That's stupid"
"Why's it stupid?"
"Because we're not married"
"Should we hold hand"
"We can't"
"But why?"
"Because people will know"
"Know what?"
"About us"
"So what if they know?"
"Its better when it's a secret"
"Why?"
"So no one can take it from us."
