4 " He’s already in love with you the way you are: an impossibly difficult, opinionated, pain in the ass! "
5 " Sweetheart, you’ve been my girlfriend since the moment I set eyes on you on that plane… "

7 " Let me be your forever, Bethany. Marry me. "
8 " We fit, Adam. I see that now. "

17 " Aw, he always knows what I need. "
18 " Oh, I always finish what I start, sweetheart.” His tongue once more darted between my lips, thoroughly flooding me with promise, "
19 " We take a little longer to find the most absolutely perfect match, instead of just settling. "
20 " I’ve already spoken with your parents and asked for your hand; they gave their blessings happily. "
