““Jules: Why didn't you tell me any of this? Emma: Because of what Jem said. That finding out that what we had was forbiddne for good reason would just make it worse. Belive me, knowing what I know hasn't mae me love you any less. Jules: So you decided to make you hate you. Emma: I tried. I didn't know what else to do. Jules: But I could never hat you. Hating you would be like hating the idea of good things ever happening in the world. It would be like death. I thought you didn't love me, Emma. But I never hated you.””
