So...I'm larking through the Baby Gap, looking at tiny capri pants and sweaters that cost more than ... I don't know,more than they should. And I get totally sucked in by this ridiculous, tiny fur coat. The kind of coat a baby might need to go to the ballet. In Moscow. In 1918. To match her tiny pearls.

What did he have to mope about, really? What more did he want?...Love. Purpose. Those are the things that you can't plan for. Those are the things that just happen. And what if they don't happen? Do you spend your whole life pining for them? Waiting to be happy?
Rainbow Rowell
I don't have to forgive you, Cath said. It's not like that with you. You're just in with me. Always. No matter what happens.
Rainbow Rowell
He tried to remember how this happened – how she went from someone he’d never met to the only one who mattered.

She didn't want to run, period. It made her breasts feel like they were going to detach from her body.

Things she knew now, that she hadn't known two hours ago: Park was covered with skin. Everywhere.
Rainbow Rowell
I think he just gets like this sometimes. Like he needs to pull away. I think of it like winter. During winter, it isn't that the sun is gone (or cheating on you with another planet). You can still see it in the sky. It's just farther away.

I don't want you to go, Sam said. She was upset. I don't want this to end like this. You don't get to choose, Lincoln said. It's just happening.
Rainbow Rowell
