“she giggled, a sound I decided was only out ranked on my list of the best sounds ever by her mother’s laugh.”

“ I know you have the best of intentions, but in my experience, guys… Don’t always show up…”

“He tipped my chin gently with his finger, and I found the courage bit by bit to meet his gaze.”

“And every time he’d shown up, my heart had done this stupid, crazy leaping move.”

“Although I couldn’t tell her, I loved this woman I would take an army for her, kill for her or die for her. There was no greater truth than that and no other truth that I could give her.”

“I like you, Mr. Beckett you let my best friend borrow yours “

“….our life, our love, feels like a fairy tale.”

“There’s no handling you, and I wouldn’t want to try. I love that about you. You’re never too much—I always want more.”

“It’s this little way you take care of me. It’s nice.”

“He kept looking at her, this magical girl who seemed so fearless and bright….”

"I thought your father was cute. But what made me love him was an accumulation of so many things—conversations, small gestures, jokes. He was interested in everything I had to say. He wanted me to achieve my goals as badly as I did. My love for him was like a bucket sitting out in the rain, slowly collecting water until one day, it was spilling over… good times and when it felt like the world was falling apart."

“ I take in my mother, this woman who’s far more complicated than I’ve allowed her to be.”

“We’re always so caught up in our own experiences and interpretations of our partner. But they’re telling themselves a different story.”

“…but it’s there, that fear of being left. I bet you have it too.”

“I’m a mess. This is probably the worst possible time to begin a relationship.”

“Maybe now is the exact right time.”

“I feel my smile in every part of my body. This is what it's like to truly cherish someone, I think. Everything I'm feeling is heightened…”

“You're both so full of energy and ideas, but when you're together, all that creativity and vitality seems to multiply. You feed off each other in positive ways….”

“Together, you’re both the tide and the ocean floor. Constantly moving but stable.”

“You’re radiant when you’re with him. More like yourself.”

“There are feelings there, and it’s incredible and terrifying.”

“I got used to being without you, but I never stopped missing you.”

“This I think is what I've chased for so long, not just shelter from the storm but a Haven.”

“I'm a little nervous, but as we stand next to each other listening to the ocean, the salt breeze on our faces. I also feel like I'm where I meant to be.”

“"Today," he says, "is about expressing your needs. Voicing what you want. Learning to ask for it."
I blink, wondering if he's screwing with me, but he's serious. “It's an essential part of healing," he goes on. "Understand-ing what you need and being comfortable telling people how to give it to you."

“Thank you for being in my life. There's no other reality I'd want to exist in, except this one, with you.
Love, George”

“Kissing George was like stepping inside a house I'd never seen but somehow knew was home. All the static in my head went quiet, as if I'd found the right frequency on a radio dial.”

“You’re a Jo March, through and through. You would have lived and died for him.”

“You’re my favorite person,” George says.

"I was always careful not to be too argumentative, too me, around Nate, but clearly I was still too much." “You should be able to be yourself with your partner without dampening your spark”

"I see someone with so much talent and creativity and pas-sion. I see the person who got me through some of the darkest times of my life. I see the strongest, most stubborn, most frustrating woman I know." I feel my cheeks heat.

“But they’re all you. They’re all worthy of love.”
