A Late Aubade Choices Quotes

She could, but she chooses not to. Any of the "could" phrases indicate that the person has, or has made, a choice.

This line continues from the previous "could." It's an option too, but not the one the woman chooses. Why go to the mall when you could make out instead?

If she chose to, she could be gardening, but she'd rather be in a raucous bed with her beau.

She could also be having lunch with a friend, but (you're probably picking up on the pattern) she's not. She's more concerned with her own love.

Another possibility: dog training. It doesn't seem quite as appealing as a romantic morning, and she chooses the latter. Well done!

Listening to a lecture on an Austrian musical composer doesn't really seem to compare to romance, and the woman agrees; she chooses a morning of love instead.

"Better" indicates that the woman made a choice. Better than what? Well, better than all of the options listed before. Love, spending time with a lover, is a lot better than any of these mundane things, and she chooses accordingly.

"Rather" again indicates that there's a choice. She would rather lie in bed and kiss than do any of the aforementioned things.
