I’d scooted my chair closer to the table. “You and I are going to get along just fine.”

“I had never thought I could love another person this much. I also never thought I’d live in such fear of losing another person. Was this how everyone in love felt?

He sighed. "Go check it.”
― Richelle Mead, The Fiery Heart
