"She leaned into me, and when I closed my eyes, I knew I wanted nothing more than to hold her this way forever."
"You're a hero and a gentleman, you're kind and honest, but more than that, you're the first man I ever truly loved. And no matter what the future brings, you always will be, and I know that my life is better for it."
"I'd learned that some things are best kept secret."
