1 " There was someone, a very long time ago, yes. We couldn’t make it work for reasons I won’t get into, but I felt like I couldn’t breathe without him. I would have done anything to be with him; he changed me. Once you feel like that for someone, everything else pales in comparison. "

3 " My soul feels lighter at the mere sight of him. Complicated feels simple. Unlikely feels inevitable. Only he makes me feel this way - like I can climb whatever mountain life puts in our path. "

8 " If it's ever too much ... if the burden of me is ever too great--"Softly, I place my hands over his lips, silently begging him to stop."Don't you know? You are not my burden. Never." I brush my lips lightly against his. "You? You are my gift. "
9 " Promises are just pretty lies. "

11 " Nuh-uh. No way this is the same thing she had last week ,” Isaac protests while shaking his head. “She spit up a couple of times then pranced around for the rest of the afternoon. This?” He points at the half dead lump in the bed. “This is the Exorcist with a side of Walking Dead. "
