1 " I turned my attention to the young barista in front of me. “I’ll have a caffeine-free, frothy, cold, chocolate thing with chocolate shit on top, please. "
― Kate Stewart , The Fall (The Reluctant Romantics, #1)
2 " I loved you then. I love you now. I'll love you tomorrow. And if you walk away from me, not one damn woman in the world will ever take your place. No one ever has. I had to learn, Dallas. It took some time. Please, just let go, forgive me, and let me love you. "
3 " I’ll still love you,” I said softly. “I’ll still love you in a week, in a month, and in three years. I’ll still love you for the rest of my life. You did that to me, and you can’t change it. No matter where you go or what you do, I will still love you. "
4 " I want all of you, Dallas. Every single piece. Even the ones I broke. "
5 " They invented the ‘nice guy’ theory for men who are innocent bystanders left in the wake of our first love gone wrong. We always recover but we never forget and we never love quite the same. The first love is always the most felt, the hardest to get over, and the hardest to forget. "
6 " Marriage requires falling in love many times with the same person. "
7 " But life doesn't give a shit what mood you are in or if your world is caving in. Its demands are never ending and you have no choice but to get through it, ready or not. "
8 " I love you, Dallas. I just couldn’t do a damn thing about it until now. "
9 " Best love story I have ever heard. Not one of them is perfect, not one of them is easy, but the good ones are always worth it.”- Room 212 "
10 " When you look at me that way, baby, I feel invincible. Nothing else fucking matters... nothing. I love you, Dallas. "
11 " I’d met the love of my life and my soul mate when I was fifteen. I knew that; he knew that. He wanted that girl back. I wanted to forget she existed. "
12 " You have the other half of my heart and I can’t live without it.” He gripped my shoulders, his forehead to mine. “You are the other half of me. Tell me how to fight for you, baby. Tell me what to do. I'll do whatever you want. Don't take my life away from me. Forgive me. "
13 " I know when I’m speaking to the other half of me. I’ve always known, my love. "
14 " My vagina spoke first, the greedy bitch, urging me to give into him. I quickly shut her up by lashing out. "
15 " What are you thinking, Dean? What do you want?” I whispered as his eyes drifted from my lips then to my eyes. He kept his hands in his pockets as he inched forward. “What you promised me, "
16 " I’ll still love you in a week, in a month, and in three years. I’ll still love you for the rest of my life. "
17 " I can’t imagine a worse kind of hell than seeing you in front of me again and not being able to touch you. "
18 " I want you so much right now, Dally. I want to push so far into you that you remember exactly who you are, and who you belong to. "
19 " You thought what we had was beautiful. I did, too, except while you were gone, I made it ugly. "
20 " I don’t have a choice in this anymore than you do. We can’t keep running from what we both know in our hearts is the truth. It’s ridiculous to think we can move on with anyone else. I’ve tried. I couldn’t do it. And neither could you. Denying what we have damn near ruined us both. I’m no longer willing to lie to myself and haven’t been in a long time. We were right the first time.”… “We got it right the first time. We just fucked up a little along the way. We weren't perfect— never have been— but we were beautiful. We still are. "
