“Despite what I said about staying the way we were, I changed. I, who have always believed in speaking my mind and made it my mission to uncover the truth, have found myself keeping secrets. Sometimes life is more complicated than the simple rules we make for it.”

I hope you're having a beautiful one.' Sadly, I haven't been doing a lot of kissing lately.”
