You’re my favorite person of all time,I see something more beautiful than the universe.

Hope emanates from you, like a warm fire brightening an otherwise depressing room.

Love is a sport in which beautiful people excel.

No!” he cried and his face pinched with frustration and pain. “I don’t want to hear more reasons why we shouldn’t be together. No more confessions to explain why you want to run away from...

You don’t have to sound so surprised.

I may have been buzzed last night, but I remember everything. I can’t promise you that I won’t want to drive you home, or kiss you like crazy again. Because I will. I do.

This desire to govern a woman — it lies very deep, and men and women must fight it together…. But I do love you surely in a better way then he does.” He thought. “Yes...

Oh, really?” He smiled down at her.

I require three things in a man: he must be handsome, ruthless, and stupid.

You too.” Then he was gone.And then I was sad.It was ridiculous. Preposterous, even. I was going to have to come clean about the ring- eventually. I hoped he didn’t bring it up because I...
