“Do you ever feel like 'nothing' has happened to you? Like you know you have a destiny, but all you've seen of life so far is unexceptional? I want my life to be different. I want to feel that it's begun. I'm waiting for 'that' kiss.”

“I guess I don’t know what I want.”“I do. I want you.”“I know, but—”“Nothing will ever change that. No matter what you hear. No matter what happens.”

“It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.”

“I want you to know that I would do it all again. I will choose you every time.”

“Well, Luce, my dear, you may have gone to boarding school parties, but you've never seen a throw-down like reform school kids do it.”

“We feel encouraged to go further with our instincts, not to change ourselves for love. If I were yours and you were mine, I would want you to be exactly as you are. I would never eclipse you with my desires.”

“I can't wait to make you the love of my mortal life.”
