That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story because, by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me.

“Buts it's your heart that I want most, Cecelia, not your beautiful face or your body, it's your heart that I'm drawn to, it's your heart that's the most beautiful thing about you, it's your heart that makes you my most worthy opponent. I regret a lot of shit from back then, a lot, but I don't regret you. I loved you then and now, and I always will.”

“After this, you want to watch a movie? You can make that cheddar popcorn I love. We can crowd under that blanket that smells like.... what's that smell?" I choke on a fresh wave of fear. " Lavender," I say as more tears stream down my cheeks. "Yeah. And I'll let you watch a chick movie because all I really want to do is watch you watch it. Your face gets all dopey when you get love drunk.”
