Book: After

- I love you. And it affects me just as much as the first time.
- I love you too, I say, and Hardin frowns.
- Don't say "too".
What? Why? - Probably, he will refuse the words, but internally I still hope that he will not do.
- I don't know... I have a feeling that you just agree with me.

My life before him was so simple and certain, and now there's only after.

All these hugs, kisses, smiles, laughter, "I love you", sex, future plans all this shoreline hell without any difficulty.

Hardin is my anchor. I pray only that he not dragged me down.

He sits on the bed, and I ask:
Do you consider me your girlfriend?
Yes. I just think that calling you that is pretty stupid.
- Stupid? - I bite my nails: terrible habit that I still do not get rid of.
- You're more to me than some childish status.

- Why didn't you tell them the truth about me and Landon? he asks, changing the subject.
Because you obviously don't want them to know about it.
And nevertheless, why would you keep someone else's secrets?
- It is then that they are strangers.

No matter near or far I - I always belong to you.

Thanks, I know I don't deserve. But I'm selfish enough to take advantage of it.

You're just too busy with what other people think of you, to realize it.

I really want to jump into the pool headlong, but fear that they will drown.

Once you get freedom, you won't regret it.

Some time looking at the screen, then gaining air into the lungs and press call. The mother says very succinctly and very quickly. I understand that she's saving his anger for a personal meeting.

He does not believe that I can love him? I have no proof, I just feel. It drives me crazy, makes you to be angrier, but I love him more than anything.

You always left me, you left when I asked for another chance. I told you that I love you, but you wouldn't believe. You know how hard it was?
