You’re My Running Mate

(My boyfriend has recently started playing a popular game series which is based on a series of Polish books, which I am currently reading. I often ask him whether certain characters I read about are in the game, so he can explain their relationship to the main character better.)

Me: “Hey, babe, they’re talking about this character, [Name], and I know you talked about her too, but what is she to [Protagonist]?”

Boyfriend: “She’s his… basically she’s to him what you are to me.”

Me: “THEN WHY ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT HIM BEING ON THE RUN FROM HER?!”
