"I was already the center of your universe, Wade. Faith was never going to be one of your priorities. I was all that ever mattered to you, and as we exited the auditorium into the humid night air, we had our first real conversation about it."

We went speeding down a stretch of downward-sloping highway as we sang, the only car on the road, lighting up the night around us. My GPS was spazzing out, insisting I "make a legal U-turn." I had clearly missed an exit amidst the yelling of shared, future wishes and relevant song lyrics, but I would've driven all night if it meant I could sit next to you, blasting more music in the simple pleasure of your company.

"I stared straight ahead, pretending like I was utterly absorbed in the story unfolding on the screen, but I couldn’t have told you a single thing about the storyline. In truth, I was paralyzed by feelings I hadn’t known were real until that moment. I was afraid of how strong they were, startled by just how much you were capable of making me feel."

"…Neither of those instances compared to the way you were looking at me in that moment, like maybe, the slope of my small hips beneath your hands was everything you’d been waiting for."

"You sprang into action, the entirety of your weight straining against a member of the opposing team as the ball went sailing through the air above you. Around me, the crowd cheered as the running back caught it and began sprinting toward the goalpost, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from you. Every move you made was beautiful, made me swell with pride despite the fact that I had no understanding of the game."

"I was certain nothing would ever come of these startling new feelings I harbored for you. The stars had grounded me."

"I didn’t want to be reminded of you everywhere I looked, but inevitably, I would always feel your presence here. There were a billion other streets for me to walk, beckoning me from every other corner of the world, and yet I was still so besotted with the parameters of your little life. As a result, my feelings for this city were no longer simple—I both loved and hated Philadelphia in equal measure."
