““Saying I love you does not mean we have to date, nor is it an obligation to send each other Christmas cards every year, with our annual one-line joke about Mr.Quackers. This is what it means to me. Right now, if I could choose to be in a five-star hotel with blueberry soap, I would change nothing; I would choose right here with you."

Your name is written inside me now.””
