“Arches and doorways have their own magic, their own mystery. Moving through them, standing beneath them, we are in the in-between, the twilight, the passage. There's an unspoken danger, the threat of being lost or forgotten. It's why a husband carries his bride over the threshold – so he can protect her from any harm, any pain. It's all I want – to shelter you from harm, to give you the happiness you've given me. I want to step into that life with you. Because together, we can survive anything. I promise to carry you through life, to comfort and protect you. To keep you safe. You asked me once what my passion was, and I've finally found it. It's you.”

“Love doesn't wonder. It doesn't question. It trusts with its whole self, as I should have. And when I looked past the things I feared, I uncovered the truth – I was afraid, and I was a fool. Can you forgive me for my pride? Can you absolve me for all the ways I hurt you? Because of all the things I want, your happiness is first and always.”

“Hope is the gap between what if and what is, but you have to fill that gap with a lot of hard work. And that’s what we’re going to talk about this week. Hope. Dreams. Work.”

“She is day and I am night. When day and night are absolutely equal, it’s equinox. Banner is my equinox. My equal.”
