1 " Anders wasn’t just that first love for me, he was so much more. He was the one person who made me feel like I had a home. "
― Karina Halle , Bright Midnight
2 " Sometimes I want nothing more than to grab her, kiss her, ask her if she remembers what it was like to love me, to want me. "
3 " with me. Maybe true happiness is having moments like this and finding a way to hold onto them for as long as you can. Maybe happiness should be rationed, and when you run out, you need to create your own happiness to fill the gaps. "
4 " I want to experience the country the real way, off the beaten path, in the villages, with the locals.With my ex-boyfriend.Who now happens to be a Nordic god. "
5 " Oh my god. This man is going to break me all over again.But I can’t run. "
6 " I could live here. To be surrounded by this beautify all the time, to slow down to a simple pace of life. It’s the kind of place that makes your heart dream. "
7 " I imagine us in the future, here, living this life together, trying to make the best of it, make it work. Would it be so unfair to ask her to stay with me? To have her be with me…Have her…love me?Can I give her the life she wants, the one in which she finds herself, where she finds a home and stability and the family she’s always been yearning for?Will she let me try? "
8 " Things were complicated between us from the start. It’s too late for anything easy and simple, because we’re not easy or simple. We’re two lonely souls with a twisted history and so much excess baggage that it’s weighing us both down. We can’t even save each other if we’re both drowning.” I pause, my heart pounding in my throat, my honesty taking me by force. “But I want to at least try. I don’t want to say goodbye to you and move on I can’t. I only want to move on with you. "
9 " I love you,” I tell her, my words shaking, the emotions swirling through me. “I love you, Shay. I don’t want to let go of you. I don’t want to lose you. I want you to stay here, with me, in Norway. I want you to be with me. I want to love you like I never really had the chance to before, with every single inch of my heart, as fucked up and imperfect as it is. "
