21 " Yes. Our last kiss left me with this insatiable desire to hold onto your mouth with mine for as long as humanly possible. "
― B.L. Berry , An Unforgivable Love Story
22 " I would rather love your broken pieces than the whole pieces of anyone else. "
23 " To chemistry and mystery and discovering exactly what this is. "
24 " They’ve both passed. Nate is all I have left. My mom passed from cancer and my dad... My dad passed from the pain of living without his wife. "
25 " Growing up my dad would say, ‘if your life were a book, would it be one worth reading? "
26 " I think that’s a beautiful sentiment, you being someone’s secret. "
27 " Tension. The best experiences in life all come down to that one little word … tension. "
28 " Life’s no fun if you’re able to predict what’s coming next. And you, Elyse … I’ve never met a woman like you before. And there’s nothing that could have prepared me for your arrival. "
29 " Alex and I have always been like thunder and lightning. Close together and part of the same storm, but never clashing in perfect sync. I had given up hope long ago that things would happen between us but also felt that in another universe, a different lifetime, our fates would collide. "
30 " Elyse. I ... I want to ... please … just let me kiss you.” His honeyed words run smooth in the space between our lips and my heart skips a beat. And "
31 " Aren’t you tired of pretending?” I narrow my eyes and knit my eyebrows together. “What are you talking about?” His shoulders slouch and he sighs, shaking his head. “You know … one of these days, Elyse, we are both finally going to recognize this.” He points his index finger at me and then back at himself. “And we will be together, exactly as we should’ve been for the past ten years. "
32 " I don’t just notice Elyse when she’s around. I feel her missing when she’s not near me. "
33 " I’ve since realized that life is all about holding on tightly and letting go lightly. There are no guarantees, so you have to live each day giving everything you have. But you also have to be ready to let go so you don’t live a life full of regret. "
34 " I know firsthand how love can be cruel. It isn’t always selfless or enduring and it wears a lot of disguises. Often the mask of an attractive man looking to claim whatever he wants as his own. And sometimes love fails. You can give love everything you have to offer, and occasionally that still isn’t enough. "
35 " Sometimes you have to walk through hell to appreciate heaven when it’s right in front of you, Elyse. "
36 " Because trust isn’t earned standing at the shoreline of the ocean. Trust is earned when you throw yourself into the darkest depths of the water. There, you are most vulnerable to all of your insecurities, imperfections and forgotten secrets. It’s all or nothing. There is no in between when it comes to trust. "
37 " I just never imagined that my one night stand would turn into my one and only. "
38 " My favorite part of our honeymoon was when Simon dipped me backwards in a passionate kiss on the Ponts des Arts bridge just before we hung a padlock with our initials to the rails, immortalizing our love. "
39 " So you really want to go back to Paris? "
40 " Ever since the day I met you, you have made my life better and brighter. You are radiant and beautiful. Stubborn and forgiving. And caring and mine. "
