1 " You need to understand something. Forgiveness isn’t an emotion. It’s an action, and it’s a choice. It’s the choice to not let the past affect how you feel about her. "
― Elizabeth Finn , Unforgiven (Unforgiven, #1)
2 " Stay.”“I can’t.” Her voice was hitching.“Why not?”“Because I don’t think you want this for the right reasons.”“I love you. What’s wrong with that reason?”“You don’t love me.”“I. Love. You.”“No! You used to love me.”“I love you still. I love you again. I just love you. I’ve always loved you.” He was speaking passionately, and he wouldn’t release her cheeks.She shook her head. “No.”“Yes. This is not some memory. I’m not reminiscing. I loved you then, and I’ve fallen completely in love with you all over again. Stay. Please. I’m begging you to give me a chance. "
3 " You don’t fall in love with the person responsible for your greatest loss. And God help you if you do. "
4 " You will always be my world. "
5 " Convince me not to hate you because… because hating you is the end of me. "
6 " Don’t do that. Don’t walk away. "
7 " I never wanted to hate you. Not ever. You did this. "
8 " You’re going to be happy. I promise.” He kissed her again, and then he said the words she didn’t want to hear. “It’s time. "
9 " All I wanted was you. I wanted to have you, throw everything else out the window for you. Maybe if I had. Maybe if I’d given in sooner, the fight would have been over. "
10 " The only thing separating us from that existence rather than the one we find ourselves in is one small decision. I make wrong decisions every day. "
11 " I’m going to marry your brother someday. "
12 " When? How long do you want to put this off? Until I break your heart again? Until I hurt you in some way that not even you can forgive? I don’t think you understand how much it destroys me . . . and yet . . . how hard it is to just let it all go. I don’t have to want to hurt you to do it. It just happens. "
13 " You will always be my world.” His lips trembled as he said the words, and her tears fell. Then he’d kissed her again and turned away. Gone "
14 " What do I do? Tell me because I can’t lose her again. "
15 " I’ve loved you forever.” His eyes were dark and serious.“I love you too. "
16 " I needed to see you. I thought I could do this . . . without seeing you . . . but I can’t. I’m sorry. "
17 " Sleep.” His face was almost amused, but he seemed a bit too serious to pull it off. “I want to make love to you.” Then as she watched, he released a sigh and he shook his head. “I don’t want to pass it by again. I’ll accept it if I have to, but I refuse to think we could really live a whole life and not have that between us. "
18 " I’m not going to hurt you,” he whispered. “Just remember how we used to be. That’s all I want for us right now. Just the two of us. No pain. "
19 " I wouldn’t trade making love to you for anything in the world, but you made the choice to leave for a reason, and you made the right choice. You know that. You deserve better than my anger and hurt and mess. I want you to have better. "
20 " You’re coming over. I want you there. You’re going to be there. End of story. "
