Line one I write, Peter will be on time

Peter cranes his neck to read upside down "Wait, does that say, ‘Peter will be on ti to be somewhere, then be there"

Peter scowls "I didn’t show up one tie--"

"But you’re always late"

"That’s not the sa late all the ti for you"

"I respect you! I respect you irl I know!"

I point at hiirl’? What boy do you respect roans so loudly it’s a roar I reach across the table, over the food, and grab hih I have to say, it’s this kind of fighting, the bickering kind, not the hurt-feelings kind, that ht

This is e decide on

Peter will not be more than five minutes late

Lara Jean will not make Peter do crafts of any kind

Peter doesn’t have to call Lara Jean before he goes to bed at night, but he can if he feels like it

Lara Jean will only go to parties if she feels like it

Peter will give Lara Jean rides whenever she wants

Lara Jean and Peter will always tell each other the truth

There’s one thing I want to add to the contract, but I’ s as he is up front with Lara Jean about it

Or maybe it’s Peter will not lie to Lara Jean about Genevieve But that’s redundant, because we already have the rule about always telling each other the truth A rule like that wouldn’t be the truth anyway What I really want to say is Peter will always pick Lara Jean over Genevieve But I can’t say that Of course I can’t I don’t know a ton about dating or guys, but I do know that jealous insecurity is a real turnoff

So I biteThere’s only one thing, one really i I want to be sure of

"Peter?"

"Yeah?"

"I don’t want us to ever break each other’s hearts"

Peter laughs easily; he cupson breaking mine Nobody ever plans it"

"Then put that in the contract Peter and Lara Jean promise not to break each other’s hearts"
