“I don't want to beg or promise you things I can't give you. There isn't much of me to give, but what I have is yours. This is all up to you, Sadie. If you want me, I'm yours. If you can't do this, then I'll walk away and leave you alone. I swear.”

“I'll give you all the dates you want. But that cooling-off thing? I can't promise you that.”

“I can't promise that I'll never be an ass, or that I'll never make you cry. I can't promise that I won't make you so angry you want to cosh me over the head with a brick. I can't promise you forever...I'd love to, but I can give you right now. I can give you me in all my defective glory.”

“Julia. Stop. I can and i will. Even if i can't be with you, i don't want anyone else. i'll give you and part of me that you want.”

“I don't like this," he said. I don't like knowing you can't forgive me, Claire. Please, I said I was sorry, what do you want me to do? Beg?I will. I'll get on my knees right here if you want.”

“I'm sorry I can't give you the normal life you wanted, but I promise to adore you every day for the rest of your new one.”
