I'm sorry but you don't fit any of those categories yet.

• Anna : Okay, we have some time. I'm not meeting my Mom until later.

  Jeremy Gilbert : Wait, does your Mom know you're a...

  Anna : The fact that you would even think that it's possible to keep something like that a secret from your own family is just further proof that you're not ready.

  Jeremy Gilbert : 'Not ready' is a step up from 'no'.

  Anna : And a million steps down from 'maybe'.
