Nothing before you counts, he said. And I can't even imagine an after. She shook her head. Don't. What? Don't talk about after. I just meant that... I want to be the last person who ever kisses you, too.... That sounds bad, like a death threat or something. What I'm trying to say is, you're it. This is it for me.
Rainbow Rowell
