“I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.”
“I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just telling you what you're going to do. There's a difference.”
“But I'm going to try to tell the truth. Except for the parts I'm leaving out, because there's still stuff I'm just not going to tell you. Get used to it.”
“I'm going to tell you like it is, then you can tell me how you heard it.”
“I won't say it's okay, because it's not. If you want to break up with me, Elle, then do it. But I'm not going to make it easy for you.”
“How often do I have to tell you this," I say. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm. Not. Going. Anywhere.”
