“I will always carry you Princess. Not everyone can say they have held their entire Universe in their arms.”

“What do I need to do to get you to trust me?   What do you want from me?”   He yells. I steel myself and look up into his panicked eyes and fight the pull I feel at coming in contact with those sapphires again.   “Nothing! I don’t want anything from you!”   I shout out the biggest lie I have ever told in my entire life.   Connor’s eyes widen at my words and his face falls, every ounce of fire gone from his gaze.   He backs away then smiles weakly at me.“Well, Merry Fucking Christmas Nina, because you have it all anyway.”

“Princess, the whole idea of one grand gesture is bull shit. Ifyou’re with someone who never shows you they care in the littleways and then they do one huge drastic thing, that’s not love,that’s desperation." -Connor Wright”

“It’s a message from the Universe. “The best relationships begin as friendships.”

“Connor, you don’t understand. I’llfall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hardand I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waitingto happen. Don’t you understand?” Well hell, maybe I’m not talkingabout ice skating either." -Nina Ryan,”

“I always thought the allusive “O” that girls always talked about was an urban legend, but Connor is quickly turning me into a believer.”

“Come on Nina, you can’t avoid doing things just because you’re afraid you will get hurt.”“I’ll fall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hard and I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waiting to happen. Don’t you understand?”“I understand Nina, but this time it’s different.”“Why? How could this time possibly be any different than the others?”“It’s different, because this time I’m here to catch you.”
