romance

"The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this."Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[...]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason's truck."

"I think of you only twice a day - when I am alone and when I am with someone else."

"Love flows like flowers, and grows like water. I’m so thirsty for romance I could drink a dozen roses."

"It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal."

"Hush Hattie!"I said, intoxicated with my success. "I don't want to go to my room. Everyone must know I shan't marry the prince."I ran to the door to our street, opened it, and called out into the night, "I shan't marry the prince."I turned back into the hall and ran to Char and threw my arms about his neck. "I shan't marry you."I kissed his cheek. He was safe from me."

"If I'd had enough breath, I would have screamed, both at the sensation and at the sheer pettiness of the bastard who wouldn't allow me even a tiny chance of escape."

"The saddest line you scraped in your diary was not that you cried but those moments when we both shared smile."

"Law looked dumbstruck, almost angry. He breathed, "Son of a bitch."And to Tom's surprise, Law got down on one knee and took his hand. "Tom, you beloved bastard, I love you. I need you in my life forever. I cannot imagine existence without you. Will you-God please say yes-grant me the honor and the privilege and save my life and marry me?"

"Like some wines our love could neither mature nor travel."

"As a fiction writer, let me make it up, and let me make it up to you. I’ll pen our love story, if you’ll be my co-author."

"If you find yourself thirsting for my love, don’t forget that I sell straws in a variety of flavors. What is the price of romance? Good question. Today only it’s on sale for half-off wholesale prices. Everything must go. My entire inventory of straws is being liquidated."

"Everyone's a little crazy. Some people just hide it better than others."

"I'd spent a night with Ranger a while ago, and I knew what happened when he was encouraged. Ranger knew how to make a woman want him. Ranger was magic."

"Lie beside me, oh my beloved! For thy thorns are more pleasurable than the petals of the world.Hold me in thy arms of hope, for the truth of separation can rest tonight."

"I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun."

"Ah, Azalea,"said the King. "He's not going to be the one proposing."The springs in Azalea's feet went poioioing."Sorry?"she said."You outrank him, you know."The King shifted, uncomfortable. "It would be highly inappropriate for him to propose to you. The Delchastrian queen had to propose-""I will do no such thing!"said Azalea."

"Now turn around and go to sleep. I'm warning you that I plan to sleep with you in my arms all night long."

"Love one another. Love yourself. Then love will find you whole not half."

"Star-crossed lovers desperate to get home together. Two hearts beating as one. Romance."

"You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love."
