“I love you,too, Garrett. But sometimes love isn't enough.”

“Love is Love no matter old you are, and I knew if I gave you enough time, you'd come back to me.”

“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”

“I love you," he finally whispered. She leaned forward and touched his face. "I know. And I love you, too.”

“Please don't ask me to go with you, because if you do, I'll go. Please don't ask me to tell Frank about us, because i'll do that, too. Please don't ask me to give up my responsibilities or break up my family; I love you, and if you love me, too, then you just can't ask me to do these things. Because I don't trust myself enough to say no.”

“Were all first loves like that? Somehow she doubted it; even now it struck her as being more real than anything she'd ever known. Sometimes it saddened her to think that she'd never experience that kind of feeling again, but then life had a way of stamping out that intensity of passion; she'd learned all too well that love wasn't always enough.”

“Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?”
