“It didn’t seem right to me that his weakest self got to decide how my life was going to turn out, what my family was going to look like. I got to decide that. And what I wanted was a life—a family, a beautiful marriage, a home—with him. With the man I knew he truly was. And I was going to get it, hell or high water.”

“I can’t lose the thing I’ve held onto for so long, you know?�� My face twists up from the pain of pushing it out. “I just really need it to be a love story, you know? I really, really need it to be that.��
“I know,�� she says.
“Because if it isn’t a love story, then what is it��? I look to her glassy eyes, her face of wide open empathy. “It’s my life,�� I say. “This has been my whole life.”

“Boys are boys and they do what they want. Women want things too sometimes, but mostly they're just warm sensory boards for men to tweak and rub and learn about themselves and the world through.”

“But loving somebody isn't perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it's a gut punch. That's why it's a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person. When you love somebody who doesn't deserve it. You have to be with someone that deserves your faith and you have to be deserving of someone else's. It's sacred.”
