Character: Hardin Scott. Page 2

I'm not Mr. Darcy, and she deserves it.

Indeed, life before Tessa's I had, the memories and the darkness, and the same will happen if she leaves.

I think I began to realize that her happy doing different things.

In my life I have read hundreds of novels. Most of them claimed that love is the center of the universe. She can heal any wounds within us. And love we need to survive. I thought they were all fools from Darcy to Heathcliff. That love is a kind of fiction, which can be found at frayed book pages. But all that changed since I met my Elizabeth Bennet. Before meeting her I never thought that someday my mind and senses are completely absorbed in another person. She took my hand, brought out of the darkness and showed me that what was not created our souls, her soul and mine are one. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. You once asked me who do I love more than anything - you.

This stubborn, intolerable, uncompromising girl - my world.

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.

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

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?

You're not some kind of victory - you mean everything to me! You are my breath, my pain, my heart, my life!
