“He wanted to wake up to her smile every day for the rest of his life, like some stupid coffee commercial on TV.”

“He wanted to wake up every morning to her. Go to sleep with his body wrapped tightly around hers. He wanted her to have his child—his children. He knew he wanted to live out the rest of his life with her by his side and when he died, he wanted to die in her arms.”

“I think that's every unresolved person's dream, to wake up one day and know what they want to do the rest of their life.”

“We’ve got to stop meeting like this.”“No, we don’t.” He liked meeting like this, over her bare ass, a hot-off-the-presses copy of the Rocky Mountain News, and a steaming cup of coffee. It was so perfect, he planned on doing it every day for the rest of his life. He just hadn’t told her yet.”

“and all I could think was that I would like to spend every morning for the rest of my life waking up beside her”

“The smile made her want to hug him, and maybe love him up some more. Stupid smile.”
