"I know. But I want to. You don't have to promise me anything.
You don't have to love me."
"I can't promise I won't."

« Then he kisses me and I feel safe here, in his arms like this, as if nothing bad will happen in the world ever again. I want to stay right here for the rest of the summer, maybe the rest of my life. (...)

And then he takes my face in his hands, brushes the hair off my forehead, and kisses me again. »
