“It didn’t stop me from believing we might have had a chance though.”

“You probably didn’t hear me, but I told you I loved you that night. I couldn’t seem to stop it from slipping out.”

“Do you still love me?” My breath stopped as Iwaited for his answer. I hoped from his expression and his song that hedid, but I needed to hear him acknowledge it.He sighed and looked over my face. Slowly, he nodded. “You wouldnever believe how much.”

“And of course, the one that I really wanted to see, stayed completely hidden away from me and I let him even though it kind of killed me.”

“Kiera, will we need diapers? I’m grabbing diapers. We should bring diapers.”Over my shoulder I yelled out, “Kellan! I’m sure the hospital will have some.” He didn’t respond to me, and I was sure the trunk of the Chevelle was going to be loaded with enough diapers to cover the bottoms of half the children in Seattle.”

“I didn’t want you to forget me. I’ll never forget you.”

“You hated what we had done, and it had meant so much to me. I hated you after that.”
