"It was none of your business."
"Everything about you is my business. What did Audibon want?"
"You moved in on me last night," Gabby said. "And now you'd like to move in on the rest of my life. You want to own everything."
"Yes. Everything, damn it! You own all of me."
"I don't want it. I don't want ever to own anybody, and I won't be owned. Don't interrupt, Jordan. Listen to me." Gabby was raging. "You think you've staked out a claim, but it isn't like that at all. There'll be days when we discover we need each other and then we'll be together. There'll be other days when nothing will happen. But no claims, no ownership, no possession, no habit. Do you understand?"
"Do you think you're lecturing a child?"
"You are a child. Selfish. Spoiled. Rude."
"You're talking about manners. What the hell does that have to do with love?"
"Everything. Do you want to love me or use me?"
"Use you? For what?"
