I lost my dad when I was younger, and I know what its like to lose a beloved parent.

The threat of taking something away makes us appreciate it more.

And for those of you who want to start any trouble, I have a zero tolerance policy. . . .

Julian, sometimes girls are like junk food. They look good, and they sure taste good… but you know they're not healthy for you and cause cavities so it's better to just leave 'em alone. Got me?

I can't help but smile as I swipe a lone tear trailing down my cheek. How can I not be crazy in love with this guy? Time away from him didn't change anything. I can't deny him another chance. That would be denying myself.

I love you because you’re the only person I want to make love to without any conditions and—and I love that you need me.

I want to hold you, Nikki. Will you let me?
