Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words.
I’m going to kiss you now, Evie, and when I do, it’s going to mean that you’re mine. I don’t care how far away from each other we are. You. Are. Mine. I’ll wait for you. And I want you to wait for me. Promise me you won’t let anyone else touch you. Promise me you’ll save yourself for me.
Friends are the family you get to choose for yourself.
I lost my heart to you. And, Bree, in case you’re wondering, I don’t ever want it back.
I will prove to you that forever is not just a word, not just a measurement of unending time, but that forever is a place where I will treasure your heart.
I knew I loved her – fiercely and with every part of my heart, even the broken parts, even the parts that felt unworthy and without value. And maybe those parts most of all.
Looking at the past can be painful, but you can either run from it, numb it, or you can learn from it.
It will only ever be you, Evie.
Maybe there was no right or wrong, no black or white, only a thousand shades of grey when it came to pain and what we each held ourselves responsible for.
Loving another person always means opening yourself up for hurt.
You’re my everything, Bree.

I don’t know, I’m kinda busy. I’ve got a pity party scheduled for eight o’clock followed by wallowing at nine.
Bad things don’t happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn’t work that way. It’s just... life.
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I wish you could read my mind so that you would know how much I want you, no one else. There could be three hundred men after me right now, and it wouldn’t matter. Because none of them are you, Archer Hale. None of them are the man I love.
I realized that people’s reactions had more to do with them, more to do with who they were, than anything about me.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes–one person who’s willing to listen to your heart, to the sound no one else has ever tried to hear.
I want to be able to love you, more than I fear losing you, and I don’t know how.
I’m here for you. I’m here because of you. I’m here because you saw me, not just with your eyes, but with your heart.
