1 " I like this marriage thing, because it's the best of all of us. We get to be the whole meal. The appetizer, the entree, the luxurious dessert... And yes, the peas and the carrots. "
― Cassie Mae , Doing It for Love (All About Love, #1)
2 " We're going to be married and hardly touch each other and have to work and work and never have any fun and we're just going to be okay with it because that's how life is and that's how relationships go, but I don't want that. I want our marriage to be... fun. I love joking around while we fool around. I want to hold hands everywhere we go. I want to make out in the back of a movie theater, steal kisses in coffee shops, have sex over every inch of our apartment or house or wherever we live. And I'm scared marriage will change the fun part of our relationship. The part that keeps us young, keeps us in love, and I'm terrified you'll wake up when you're fifty and realize you're stuck with the decision you made when you were twenty-seven, and we haven't touched in months, we don't go out. I just want to know when that happens... that you'll still... you'll still love me. "
3 " I want to make people smile. I want to tell an epic story... with laughter. I want to change the way people view the world. I want life to stop being so damn dramatic all the time. I want... what are you doing? "
4 " He's totally caught me, and I'm never letting him toss me back. "
5 " My back slams against the oven door, and I cover my face and cry. I cry so hard I can't breathe. "
6 " Absence makes the clitoris grow fonder. "
7 " You are the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever set eyes on. Every night I thank the stars I get to sleep next to you. And every morning I hope I get at least one more night. "
8 " Prepare your thrusters. "
9 " There's dust on my exercise bike. I sigh, clap my hands, and pull it to the center of the room. I'm out of breath by the time I get it in front of the TV. "Well, that's enough exercise for me," I say to myself and go set up the rest of the room. "
10 " I vow to pick up my socks.""Can I get that in writing? "
11 " I love you.""Why?" I ask, eyes drifting closed already."Because I can't picture a life without you," he whispers so low I barely catch it. "I don't want to."I smile as much as I can with how sleepy I am. He didn't even rehearse that one.His lips graze my forehead. "Why do you love me?""Because you say things like that.""Wow. My answer was so much better than yours. "
12 " The twitch of his smile grows. "So... we're basically arguing over who gets to be more selfless in this marriage."I smile too. "Basically. "
13 " I remember how it felt when he put the ring on my finger. It was beyond words.But nothing could've ever prepared me for how it feels to put a ring on his finger. "
14 " ..."Two squeezes mean I love you."His fingers snaked down my body, leaving chills in their wake. He grasped my hand and pumped it twice. "
