How much do you have in common with<br />this guy?"<br />"Not much. Basically we're polar opposites.<br />But do you want to know the main attraction,<br />the weird part? . . . It's the talking."<br />"Talking about what?"<br />"About anything," I said earnestly. "We<br />get started and it's like sex, this back-andforth,<br />and we're both so there, do you know<br />what I mean? We rattle each other. And<br />some conversations seem to be happening on<br />a few different levels at once. But even when<br />we're disagreeing on something, there's a<br />weird kind of harmony in it. A connection.
