“I love you, too, Pax. I hope you know that.”

“I want to say we're okay, Bliss. I need you, too. But I can't pretend I wasn't hoping this would go somewhere. I don't know if I can do it. The truth is... you are hurting me. Not on purpose, I know that. But I love you and every second that you don't love me back... it hurts.”

“I don't want to start over again," she says slowly. "I like what we had. I don't want to re-do it. I love you, Pax. But I don't know if I can handle it if you leave me like that again. You shut me out and i couldn't help you. That's not what people do when they love someone. You ripped my heart out and stomped on it.”

“I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.”

“Ah, stupid, you know I love you, too.”

“I love you, and beneath all that logic, calculation, and superstition, I know you love me too.”
