21 " My husband doesn’t just love me. He knows how to love me. He knows what I need and when I need it, sometimes even better than I do. "
― Nina Lane , Awaken (Spiral of Bliss #3)
22 " I’ll always be here. She could rip me open, tear me apart, and I’d still crawl back to her. "
23 " Loved. I hadn't even realized how desperetly I'd wanted love.How much we both needed to know that in a world of dark corners and sharp needles, there really is a place where kisses taste like apple pie and where stars spill like suger across the sky. A place where unknown roads no longer scare you because you have another hand to hold. A place where butterflies always flutter whenever you see each other, and a single touch tells you that you are not alone. A place where every kiss still feels like the first. In that place of us, Liv and Dean, love has its own poetry and language. Allure, quartrefoil, fleur-de-lis...Professor. Beauty. "

24 " We’re going to have to read a lot of books,” I say. “My life’s work involves reading books.”“We’ll probably have to take some classes.”“I’m at my best in a classroom.”“And I hear we’ll need to buy a ton of stuff.”“We can afford stuff.”I look up into his chocolate-brown eyes.“I just wish I knew where to start,” I whisper.“Right here, beauty.” And he presses his lips to mine. "
25 " I moved closer to Dean, breathing in the scent of his skin, the heat of his body. "Remember when you told me everyone has a key to unlocking their secrets?" I whispered. " And you wanted to know what mine is?" He nodded. "And you told me you didn't have a key." "I think I do." "What is it?" "You. "
26 " I love him to my bones, but suddenly I’m wondering what I might have been without him. "

27 " Do you want a baby?” I finally ask.“No.”My heart almost stops. “No?”“I don’t want a baby.” Dean puts his hand on my belly, spreading his fingers out. “But I do want this baby. I want our baby.”I smile, relief filling me like light. “Good, because that’s all I’ve got. "
28 " Why are you waiting for me?” I asked. “Because you’re worth it.” “You don’t know that.” “Yes, I do.” “How?”“I’ve been around. I know when something’s good."My throat tightened a little. “What if you’re wrong?”“I’m not wrong. "
29 " He is imprinted in my bones, my soul. He has marked me in ways more permanent than time. "
30 " It’s not running away if you’re running toward something. "
31 " He didn't touch me. He could have—he had the perfect reason to—but he didn't.Instead he bent to collect my papers before the breeze could whisk them away. Instead he picked up my satchel from the sidewalk and asked if I was okay. Instead he stood between me and the busy street while I brushed the dirt from my palms and tried toswallow the knot of frustration stuck in my throat. Instead he just waited. I had the strange thought that he would wait forever. "
32 " Beauty, you make me want to stop time so I can look at you forever. "
33 " There are so many important lessons I’ve learned in my journey to now. Trust your instincts, follow your bliss, make plans, work hard, learn to let things go. Don’t be late. Remember that fortune favors the brave. Live. If you need to run, try and run toward something. Study for tests. Laugh at silly cartoons. Be organized. If you fall seven times, get up eight. Always carry an extra pen. Believe you can do everything. Find your key. And the most valuable lesson I’ve learned will forever live in my heart, right beside my husband. Love the one who proves to you that happily ever after is only the beginning. "
34 " I knew I could be everything for him that he was for me. I could heal his wounds, be his anchor, treasure him. Together we could create our own world, one of warmth and affection, protected from the slings and arrows of the world.For despite our differences, our struggles, our childhoods at opposite ends of the spectrum... Dean and I were the same. "
35 " I want to learn how to trust a man. I wanted to know what true, physical pleasure felt like. I wanted to find the courage to be vulnerable on my own terms, as my own choice. "
36 " Helen’s gaze flickers to Liv. “I’m Helen Morgan. Dean and I were once married.”“I’m Olivia West,” Liv replies. “Dean and I are married.” The possessive tone in her voice does me some good. "
37 " Dean opened the glove compartment and took out a package of condoms.“You keep condoms in there?” I asked.“It is called the glove compartment,” he replied with a wink. "
38 " As you wish. "

39 " Since the day we met, I haven’t wanted anyone but you,” “Never looked at another woman,” he continues, “Never thought about one. It’s always been you, Olivia. "
40 " I put my hands flat on the table. Lean in to look her in the eye. “So she was a student when we met. She was also schlepping coffee. Best damn coffee I’ve ever had. One look at her and I was a goner. Done. Since that day, I’ve never had it so good. So don’t try and put her down because you can’t. She’s everything you never were. Everything you’ll never be. "
