“I can’t fall in love with you,” I whisper.
He catches my wrist and turns his head, pressing his lips to my palm. When he releases me, I
retract it. I keep my kissed palm safe against my chest, like he’s going to try something else.
“I won’t,” I clarify. “Because—”
“You will,” he replies. “You don’t have a choice. There’s never been a choice with us, wild girl.
You’ll fall in love with me, and it’s going to be a hundred times better than any love you held for
Knox. Because I deserve you and you deserve me.” His gaze intensifies. “And when you do realize
that you’re madly in love with me, you’re going to know in your bones that I won’t leave you. I
haven’t left you, and I won’t ever. It’s you and me until the end of time.”

“Nicholas’s point of pride is that
he thinks he knows every little thing there is to know about me. He tells
people all the time that I can’t hide anything from him. I’m transparent as
air and intellectually just as substantial. The fact that he can look into my
eyes and believe I am totally in love with him is proof that I’m a fantastic
actress and he does not know everything about me, or even most things.”

“you can’t tell men about your unfixable problems,
because they’ll want to fix them and not being able to do so fries their
wiring”

“I know people hate the romance genre in general, for its predictability, but that's precisely why I love it. Isn't there enough uncertainty in life to seek it in cinema too? For me, there's something magical about that sequence, the promise of a happily ever after, that will never not soothe the deepest of my wounds.”
