Heart Quote by Courtney Milan - The Suffragette Scandal
““So.” She picked up his paperweight and turned it over. “This was your search for a heart?” “No.” His voice was ever so quiet. “I made that when I gave up on having one altogether. I didn’t think there was any point in looking for such a ridiculous object until I met you. At some point in the weeks of our acquaintance, I realized I did have one buried somewhere.” He looked over at her. “There’s no point in searching it out now. By the time I realized it existed, it was already yours.””

Love can be found unexpectedly, and the search for it may end when it’s already given.
In simple terms: Love appears when least expected, often already present.
Recognize love when it arrives, rather than chase it.
