"It's not the time," Levi said, and she could hear that he was smiling." It's the distance.”

“Part 3
Anna: St. Clair…
Etienne: And that. Why don’t you call me Etienne any more?
Anna: But … no one else calls you that. It was weird. Right?
Etienne: No. It wasn’t And every time you say St. Clair, it’s like you’re rejecting me again.
Anna: I have never rejected you.
Etienne: But you have. And for Dave.
Anna: And you rejected me for Ellie on my birhtday. I don’t understand. If you liked me so much, why didn’t you break up with her?
Etienne: I’ve been confused. I’ve been so stupid.
Anna: Yes. You have.
Etienne: I deserve that.
Anna: Yes. You do. But I’ve been stupid, too. You were right. About … the alone thing.
Etienne: I’ve been thinking lately. About my mum and dad. How she gives in to him. How she won’t leave him. And as much as I love her, I hate her for it. I don’t understand why she won’t stand up for herself, why she won’t go for what she wants. But I’ve been doing t he same thing. I’m just like her.
Anna: You aren’t like your mom.
Etienne: I am. But I don’t want to be like that any more, I want what I want. I told my father’s friends that I’m studying at Berkeley next year. It worked. He’s really, really angry with me, but it worked. You told me to go for his pride. You were right.
Anna: So.You’re moving to California?
Etienne: I have to.
Anna: Right. Because of your mom.
Etienne: Because of you. I’ll only be a twenty-minute train ride from your school, and I’ll make the commute to see you every night. I’d take a commute ten times that just tob e with you every night. You’re the most incredible girl I’ve ever known. You’re gorgeous and smart, and you make me laugh lilke no one else can. And I can talk to you. And I know after all this I don’t deserve you, but what I’m trying to say ist hat I love you, Anna. Very much.Oh God, And I’ve mucked things up again, haven’t I? I didn’t mean to attack you like this. I mean I did but … all right. I’ll leave. Or you can go down first, and then I’l come down, and I promise I’ll never bother you again…
Anna: No.
Etienne: I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you.
Anna: Please stopl apologizing, Etienne.
Etienne: Say my name again
Anna: Etienne.
Etienne: Anna?
Anna: Yes?
Etienne: Will you please tell me you love me? I’m dying here.”

“Anna: What are you doing here?
Etienne: I came for you.
Anna: And how on EARTH did you know I was up here?
Etienne: I saw you. I came to make another wish, and I was standing on Point Zéro when I saw you enter the tower. I called your name, and you looked around, but you didn’t see me.
Anna: So you decided to just … come up?
Etienne: I had to. I couldn’t wait for you to come down, I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to see you now. I have to know … Why did you lie to me?
Anna: I’m sorry, I don’t know what …
Etienne: November. At the creperie. I asked you if we’d talked about anything strange that night I was drunk in your room. If I had said anything about our relationship, or my relationship with Ellie. And you said no.
Anna: How did you know?
Etienne: Josh told me.
Anna: When?
Etienne: November.
Anna: I…I…If you’d seen the look on your face that day. In the restaurant. How could I possibly tell you? With your mother…
Etienne: But if you had, I wouldn’t have wasted all of these months. I thought you were turning me down. I thought you weren’t interested.
Anna: But you were drunk! You had a girlfriend! What was I supposed to do? God, St. Clair. I didn’t even know if you meant it.
Etienne: Of course I meant it. I meant it, Anna. I meant it.
Anna: I don’t under…
Etienne: I’m saying I’m in love with you! I’ve been in love with you this whole bleeding year!
Anna: But Ellie…”
