“If I told you that I wanted to spend my days and nights with you, live with you, as my partner, because out there, in Hell, I realised that you mean the world to me? That you are my sanity, my laughter, my lust, my love, my comfort, my day and my night, my heat and cold and everything? If I told you that, would you think that translates to 'convenient'?”
This quote delves deep into the complexities of love, challenging the notion that choosing a partner can ever be merely "convenient." The speaker expresses a profound emotional need and vulnerability, emphasizing how their beloved embodies every aspect of their existence—from sanity and laughter to desire and comfort. The rhetorical question at the end highlights the speaker's frustration with reducing such a profound connection to something as superficial as convenience. Ultimately, the quote champions love as an all-encompassing, essential force that transcends ease or practicality.

“Andrew..,' I shake my head, tears rolling my cheeks, '... it was always you," I whisper harshly. 'Even with Ian, I felt something was missing. I told you, that night in the field; I told you that...,' My voice trails. I smile and say, 'you are my partner in crime. I've known that for a long time.”
