I feel safe with you.
If it helps you. I forgive you. But i have learned in recent weekd that seeking forgiveness from others is meaningless unless you can forgive yourself.
He pressed his lips against her forehead in the gentlest of kisses. “I’m going to make love to you, Grace. Not right this minute. I’m not going to pressure you or rush this. But from the moment I saw you on that video surveillance tape, you were mine. I have no explanation for it. I don’t even entirely understand the connection. But it’s there, and I think you feel it too. I’m willing to wait until the moment is right, but you’re mine.
He hated being the object of scrutiny.
When are you going to stop running from them, Regina? From yourself?
I love you,” she whispered. “I told myself I wouldn’t make it hard, that I’d never breathe those words. But ’tis harder for me to go without saying them. I need to give them to you.
You can’t control my feelings, Hancock. You control my fate, yes. My ultimate destiny. My life even. But you can’t control me.
Inch by inch, they chipped away until soon there would be nothing left to salvage.
He felt strangled by helplessness.
Early one morning, before the sun had fully risen over the horizon, he sent two messengers on horseback, each to deliver the royal decree to Laird Armstrong and Laird Montgomery. He only hoped to hell that they didn’t kill each other at the wedding.

I don’t know a mother alive who won’t always try to make things better for her children, no matter how old they are.
Never forget that family is the most important thing. No matter how far your life takes you away, your family is always here. And if you’re nothing else in this world, you’re a Kelly, and that makes you loved.

I love you, lass. There is not a single part of my heart or soul that you do not own.
