1 " She’s mine. She has to be because my heart is hers and always has been. It’s never been so clear.I loved her then, soul-deep.I love her now, perpetually. "
― Kate Stewart , The Plight Before Christmas
2 " Fuck the hell out of your wife, and while you do it, shower her with affection. And do yourself a solid by not ever asking her what’s for dinner, ever again. "
3 " Name’s Sean, "
4 " I have not truly lived until this moment, being in love, with her. "
5 " I might have convinced myself I came out of selfish curiosity to deliver an overdue apology, but that’s no longer the case at all. I find myself in the same position I was in the second I let her go—filled with longing and soul-crushing regret. "
6 " It’s as complicated and as simple as this—after nearly a lifetime apart, I don’t just want her. I want her back. "
7 " You were, are, the love of my life, Whitney Collins. "
8 " Just remember when times get hard, when your problems are blinding you, that you’re on a floating planet in the middle of a vast galaxy filled with the unexplainable, and the only thing holding you to it is an invisible force you can’t see. "
9 " Serena has no idea how lucky she is to have someone willing to brave the cold to ensure she’s warm—to open the impossible pickle jar, carry the bulk of the heavy load. Little things men do to care for their women. Things that are taken for granted over time by those in a relationship. "
10 " But there’s an upside.” “What’s that?” “The growing pains may sting like a motherfucker, but they’re necessary to help you figure out what’s most valuable. Once you know what’s most important to you, it all becomes crystal clear. "
11 " I was so lonely I used to have conversations with—” “The moon,” I say softly, tears gliding down my cheeks as I remember his confession about the sky. "
12 " She’s mine. She has to be because my heart is hers and always has been. It’s never been so clear. I loved her then, soul-deep. "
13 " I came to see you. I came to apologize for hurting you because I wasn’t man enough to admit I wasn’t ready for what I saw in your eyes all those years ago. "
14 " I’m asking for another chance with you.” … “God, if you would only let me. "
15 " Fuck then, I want you now. I want to know whatever I don’t. I want to try this again as the man I am, not the terrified boy I was. I’ll do whatever you want if it means feeling this way again because, with anyone else, I’ve never fucking come close. "
16 " I’m terrified to fail you, but I want this, want you.”“Me too. "
17 " give a man a slab of cement and he’ll find a way to make a bed out of it. "
18 " For me, Whitney Collins was the one that got away…because I pushed her away. Even so, I never forgot her, and it’s because of this invisible thread that’s bound me to her since the day we met. It appeared—much like her—out of nowhere. "
19 " You know, I can’t really talk about crazy. I was just having a chat with the moon.” She nods as if it’s the most natural thing in the world to admit as she searches the sky and finds it. "
20 " It all started with my broken toe exactly three weeks ago, an accident I acquired dodging dog shit on my morning run. "
