" «Escondí esta carta con la esperanza de que la encontraras bastante después de que nos hayamos ido. Espero que la encuentres dentro de unos meses, cuando aún esté todavía fuera, de viaje, lejos de ti. No sé cómo estaremos después de todo este tiempo separados. Espero que nos hayamos unido. Espero que estemos más enamorados que nunca. Espero que, cuando vuelva, te mudes conmigo. Con toda honestidad, espero que cuando vuelva aceptes casarte conmigo algún día. Porque eso es lo que quiero, con lo que sueño. Que seas mía para el resto de mi vida. Espero que sientas lo mismo… porque no sé qué haría sin ti. Te quiero muchísimo, pero, si por alguna razón, nos hemos separado, si ya no estamos tan unidos, si algo se ha interpuesto entre nosotros, por favor, te lo ruego… no te rindas. Quédate. Quédate conmigo. Solucionémoslo juntos. Pero no me dejes... por favor. Te amo, tuyo siempre, Kellan.» "

" You’ve had sex with that girl!”
He blinked at my tone and my words, then his face heated. “And?” I blinked that he didn’t even try and deny it. “And…and…” Not having a real argument, I sighed and hung my head. “And I’m tired of running into girls who know what making love to you feels like. “ He sighed and stepped into me, cupping my face. His voice and face softer, he shook his head. “No one but you knows what making love to me feels like.” Raising his eyebrows, he rested his head against mine. “I didn’t even know what making love was like until you.” Pulling back, he tilted his head at the building. “What happened with that girl…was just sex. A mindless, physical act that had no meaning or feeling behind it. It was just pleasure…and I don’t even really remember it.”
Squatting down, he met my eye. “I remember every single time with you. Even before we were together, being with you haunted my dreams.
I couldn’t forget, even when I wanted to…” His thumbs brushed over my cheeks as I felt tears falling down them. “You…seared me. That’s making love. That is something that none of them have over you. You are…unforgettable…and I love you.”
Sniffling, I swallowed a couple times before I could finally say, “I love you, too. "

" I hid this one in the hopes that you would find it long after I’m gone. I hope you find this months from now, when I’m still out there, on the road, away from you. I can’t imagine what the time apart has done to us. I’m hoping we’re closer.
I’m hoping we’re more in love than ever. I’m hoping that when I come back, you’ll move in with me. In all honesty, I’m hoping that when I come back you’ll agree to marry me someday. Because that’s what I want, what I dream about.
You, mine, for the rest of my life. I hope you feel the same…because I don’t know what I would do without you. I love you so much. But, if for some reason we’re not closer, if something has gotten between us, please, I’m begging you…don’t give up on me. Stay. Stay with me. Work it out with me. Just don’t leave me…please.
I love you, always, Kellan "

" You wonder why I’m constantly aroused, and I guess I’m telling you. Your body fires me. Your fingertips brushing over my skin, ignites me. Your breath washing over me, enflames me. Everything about you is sensual, and you have no idea…none. When you stare at me with those smoky eyes, undressing me like I undress you, all of the blood rushes down, and I want you…so bad. I’m pretty sure that wherever I am right now, I have an ache, a hard, nearly painful ache…because I’m thinking of you." Letter from Kellan to Kiera. "
