It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing. ↗

Any happiness, no matter how brief, seemed better than the long, simmering torture of waking up day after day, knowing I could never have him. ↗

One more secret smile. One more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn't know I was searching for. ↗

I couldn't stand here, hanging on, when the very thing I held disappeared more with each passing day. ↗

Love is a verb, not a noun. It is active. Love is not just feelings of passion and romance. It is behavior. If a man lies to you, he is behaving badly and unlovingly toward you. He is disrespecting you and your relationship. The words “I love you” are not enough to make up for that. Don’t kid yourself that they are. ↗

If anyone were to find out—” I began. Patch kissed me, hard, but with an amused glint in his eye. “If I get caught, it’ll mean the end of kissing you. Do you really think I’d risk that?” His face grew serious. “I know I can’t feel your touch, but I feel your love, Nora. Inside me. It means everything to me. I wish I could feel you the same way you feel me, but I have your love. Nothing will ever outweigh that. Some people go their entire lives never feeling the emotions you’ve given me. There is no regret in that. ↗

I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually. ↗
