“i love purple and blue!!!!!”

“So it's a yes, then?"To blue-corn pancakes or being your girlfriend?”

“Because the truth is, I do love him. I've loved him without ceasing. I've loved him since that very first day. I loved him even when I swore I didn't. I can't help it. I just do.”

“I love you," I whisper."And I love you." He smiles, his lips seeking mine. "Always have. Always will.”

“It's not that kind of love. It's the real kind. The unconditional kind. The nonjudgemental kind. Not the physical kind. I love you as a fellow soul who inhabits this earth. I love you as a fellow immortal. I love you because I finally understand what made you the way you are. And if I could change it, I would. But I can't—so I choose to love you instead. And my hope is that my acceptance of you will spur you to do something good too, but if not—" I shrug. "At least I can say I tried.”

“Damen, seriously, you must know I don't love you because you're immortal, I love you because you're you.”

“Have I ever told you how much I love you, Ever? Have I? Ever, Ever?”
