“I am in love with you. When I look at you, think about you, I can’t decide if I want to fuck you, strangle you, or just hold you in my arms. Usually all three. And if that’s not love, I don’t know what is” … “You’re everything I’ve been searching for, before I even knew I was looking.”

“I march forward, pushing and elbowing my way through the crowd. “Pardon me. Excuse me. Coming through.”
Finally, I reach the unhappy couple. I nod to Prince. “How’s it going, Dave?”
He looks a little confused. “Uh . . . fine, thanks.”
“Good.”
Then I scoop Kennedy up into my arms—and I run.
The element of surprise is on our side, several moments pass before anyone behind us thinks to react.
“What are you doing?” Kennedy squeaks.
“Saving you.”
For a horrible second, I think maybe she didn’t want to be saved. Until her arms tighten around my neck and her body presses closer. “Hurry. They’re coming.”
I pick up the pace and smile. “Relax. I’ve got you.”

“If I could go back and change all of that, I would. But this is where we are now. We have to move forward. I’m in love with you. And if it takes awhile for you to wrap your head around that – to wrap your heart around it – then I’ll wait. Because you’re worth waiting for. You always were.”

“I’m not going to let us fall this time, Kennedy.”
Her eyes are back on my chest. “I’m not sure--”
“All you have to do is take my hand.”
