“He would forever be her captor and she would forever be his prisoner.”

“he loved her deeply and irrevocably. His life would be forever changed and if she weren't in his life, well, it would be meaningless".”

“That he would love her no matter what she told him, and that he was the kind of man who loved her already and would love her forever.”

“If she took Po as her husband, she would be making promises about a future she couldn't yet see. For once she became his wife, she would be his forever. And, no matter how much freedom Po gave her, she would always know that it was a gift. Her freedom would be not be her own; it would be Po's to give or to withhold. That he never would withhold it made no difference. If it did not come from her, it was not really hers.”

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

“He had told her he would love her forever, but he could not stay with her. From that time on, she couldn't see his glow or hear his voice in her head. Could he still hear her? Was he even aware of her existence?”
