“I look up momentarily stunned, then angry. What the Hell is that dirtbag doing here?”

“I love you, you know that? You're so selfless.Don't paint me a saint, Gracie. I have alot of making up to do for the shit I've caused but I'm trying.”

“Do not be afraid. Look fear in the face and say, "fuck you" and move on.”

“Well, then-“ Before I can finish his lips are on mine fervently and I return his kiss as our mouths move together in a slow rhythm. I wrap my arms around his neck tightly. He grasps my face between both of his warm hands, then pulls back to look at me.You don’t know how happy you just made me, Gracie. I love you. I fucking love you!Yes I do because it’s the same feeling you give me. I love you so much Carter and I want to move in with you and see you every day and wake up next to you every morning.”

“But Gracie, someday is here. Now. I’m not proposing to you or anything. I just want you to know, I've found the one for me…in you.”

“The more time I spend with you, the more my mind is cluttered. I'm not used to doing nice things for anyone but all I want to do is make you happy.”

“She rubs my back and sighs."Jesus Abby, I'm so sorry. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're still hung up on him. Big time.”
