I want to be with you as much as possible, Ronnie. You're smart and funny and you're honest. I trust you. I trust us. Yeah, I'm leaving and you're going back home.

Allie would love what you've done, he remarked. She was always a softie when it came to things like this. I folded my hands in my lap. I wish she could be there this weekend. Noah glanced at the stack of letters. I knew he was imagining Allie, and for a brief moment, he looked strangely younger. So do I, he said.

I think that enduring, committed love between a married couple, along with raising children, is the most noble act anyone can aspire to. It is not written about very much.
