Everyone deserves a happy ending.

Just so you know, when they say "Once upon a time” . . . they’re lying

true love is felonious… You take someone’s breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart.

How do you tell someone that you weren't the person he thought you were? And more importantly, how did you tell him that you'd meant the things you'd said, when everything else about you turned out to be a lie.

You might have to lose control before you could find out what you'd been missing.

I close my eyes, thinking that there is nothing like an embrace after an absence, nothing like fitting my face into the curve of his shoulder and filling my lungs with the scent of him.

The first time someone I loved left me behind...I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs. I was sure we would now be off-kilter, always unstable. Until one day I looked more closely, and realized that we had simply become a stool.
