“Now he would always be part of her. She just didn't know it yet.”

“That's when I realized that part of me would probably always be lost in the past. That just seemed to be my personality: I was the one who couldn't stand change.”

“She would forever remember how warm & secure he made her feel. How could she ever live without that?”

“She thought about Cheryl’s contention that this was young love, and about how she’d feel if they were ever to break up and she had to look back on this moment as an episode in a life that was full of people she didn’t even know now. The thought made her want to cry.”

“She could no longer see herself without him somewhere in her life, & there was no one she could even imagine being her 1st besides him.”

“God forbid, if something happened & she lost him for good, she would give up anything to have him back. Anything & everything.”

“I had to work out that he was always going to break my heart as long as I was willing to let him in.”
