“I can’t promise that I’ll be able to give you everything you deserve, Adelaide.” He gazes deep into my eyes and his fingers skim my cheeks, tucking strand of black behind my ears. “But I can promise you that I’ll try.”Yes.

“I believe that there is something in all of us that is seeking expression, that wants to be heard, that wants to be accepted and respected and loved.

We are all seeking the same thing - expression of who we are and what we want from this life.”

“I don't want us to be together because either of us is afraid. We have to be whole before we can share what we are with each other”
