“The only purpose of our lives consists in waking each other up and being there for each other.”

“We are the living Scripture being written in our time, and it is in the grit of our lives that god writes His Eternal Love Story.”

“And here I thought you were actually going to behave yourself," he said. "It's going to get worse if they don't keep their hands off you.""I suppose you're going to tell me now that only you have the right to touch me.""I see we understand each other.”

“And she was blushing a lot herself, for absolutely no reason other than she'd found herself sitting next to Chad at the table.Their knees bumped. Their elbows collided. Marian whispered apologies each time,even for those that weren't her fault. He didn't seem to hear though, as he was too busy listening to every word out of Amanda's mouth.

They were man and wife and would be until he got their marriage annulled. What a rude awakening that was going to be in three or four months' time.For him.”
