21 " What can I say? When I was in college, I was partnered up with this really smart girl who taught me how to construct the perfect sentence.” “Really? So what’s the perfect sentence?” He smiles and leans forward as if he’s about to divulge a secret. “Then, she let it go. "

22 " I was eighteen when I got lost in Houston, and in him I found myself. They say love is just two souls recognizing each other. With Houston and me it was more like two souls staring into a mirror, my left hand aligned with his right, our hearts skipping a beat at the same moment, our lungs choking on the same noxious air, our scars as perfectly aligned as mountains and fault lines. If ever two souls were perfectly right and perfectly wrong for each other, it would be us. "
23 " I clutch my chest as I try to keep breathing. “What? I don’t understand. You… you said we couldn’t get married. You… you broke my heart.” “It was the biggest mistake of my life. I could see it then and I can see it even more now. Letting you go was the single stupidest thing I’ve ever done. "
24 " He blinks back tears. “There’s so many things you don’t know about me that I need to tell you, so you’ll understand everything that happened back then and afterward. "
25 " This is yours. It’s my promise to you. I swear I’m going to do everything I can to get that ring on your finger. "
26 " Houston, I’d rather have the truth than this ring.” “That ring is my promise to tell you the truth, but only when the time is right. "
27 " Wait for me. "
28 " We may only ever have one great, passionate love. If I had one, it would definitely be Rory. "
29 " Lies are comforting. Soft blankets we wrap around our hearts. We roll around in them like fat, happy pigs. Gorging on their decadence. We prefer lies, though we claim otherwise. Trust me. If ignorance is bliss, believing lies is orgasmic. "
