T: I love dogs. My best friend in the whole wide world is a fluffy mixed-breed named Russell. I FaceTime him regularly and we talk for hours. You should meet him, he's a really funny guy.

H: Hmmm... I bet he's just like you and gets all the lady dogs.

T: You're completely right. He's the handsomest good boy to ever live...

T: I'm a mamma's boy. My mom is the greatest woman you'll ever meet, and I'd do anything for her. She's a great cook, but she's an even better baker. She bakes the best pies. I always put on a few when I visit them for the holidays.

H: I actually love pie—apple pie especially.

T: Ever had a creampie?

H: And you ruined it...

T: My buddy, Diego, throws these huge Halloween parties every year, and my friends and I went as cheerleaders last year. We were sexy nurses the year before that.

H: Interesting. And what are you guys planning to be this year?

T: French maids. Wanna join us? Halloween's pretty soon, and I bet you'd look phenomenal in the costume...

T: I'm a health freak. I have to be if I want to be at the top of my game, but I have a concerning addiction to Reese's Cups, or anything peanut butter flavored, really. I never actually buy them because then I feel like I've lost, but my friends have been known to bribe me with them.

T: I'd never say no if you offered me any.

H: You're not as subtle as you think.

T: I don't have a favorite color, but I'm partial to red.

T: And blue and silver.

T: Go Knights!

T: I've seen every Barbie movie ever made—first with my sister, and now with my two nieces whenever I visit. Don't tell anyone I admitted this, but some of them are actually pretty good. If you ever want to do another movie night, I've got solid recommendations.

H: That's sweet, but I'm more of an action-and-adventure person. My brother and I used to sneak-watch all the movies we weren't allowed to see—explosions, violent deaths, questionable ratings, the whole nine yards. Looking back, maybe it wasn't the greatest thing, but I now consider those types of films to be comfort watches.

T: Oh, thank God. I can't take much more. Did you know I can recite Princess and the Pauper word for word? Anyway... what's your favorite movie?

H: It's kind of campy, but Mad Max.

T: Marry me...

°•°•°•°

T: I wasn't interested in girls until I was about sixteen. I was so focused on training and getting better that I never really paid any attention to them. I think I was even a little scared of them...

T: But don't worry—once I discovered what little Tristan could do, I put him to good use.

H: And made up for lost time...

°•°•°•°

T: I think the best and only way to sleep is naked.

H: Sleepovers must have been fun at your house.
