1 " Of course happy couples fight! Two strong minds coming together are never going to agree on everything, and it’s healthy to express those feelings.

10 " I'll build anything you need,' he whispers, kissing my jaw. 'I'd do anything for you. "
11 " What’s the difference between an introverted engineer and an extroverted engineer?” he asks. I look up, and his excitement at getting to tell me this joke makes my heart feel like a wild animal inside me. “What?” “When the introverted engineer speaks to you,” James says, “he looks down at his shoes. When the extroverted engineer speaks to you, he looks down at your shoes. "
