Quote from Jess

Jess: I don't even really think about it that much. I just think about, you know, passing things. Just... Nothing specific. We live in a house by a lake.
Nick: That sounds pretty specific.
Jess: We live in a town with a sense of history but not so much history that the locals are suspicious of new people. Two small children who are so incredibly creative they named themselves. We don't need to discipline the kids 'cause they're so afraid of disappointing us. Our house smells like cider. And if there's a horse out back, you're not gonna get any guff from me.
