It is always the silly things that remind me
Alexandra Potter
I am a hopeless romantic. A silly, ridiculous, foolish romantic. I live in a fantasy land. I need to get real. And now, for the first time, I want to get real. I want a real relationship with a real man in the real world–-with all the real problems, faults, and whatever comes with it.
Alexandra Potter
But I figure you're never too old to learn. That's when you become old, when you stop being fascinated by things, when you stop wanting to learn and explore.
Alexandra Potter

Alexandra Potter
And like a soprano shattering glass, Juliet heard something snap deep inside. It was the sound of her heart breaking.
Alexandra Potter
