I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear.
"Maybe I'm already sure," he says, "and I just don't want to frighten you."
I laugh a little. "Then you should know better."
"Fine," he says. "Then I love you.”
― Veronica Roth, Divergent

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
