"Fuck you Asher. I thought i had life figured out. I thought I had played my cards right. I was I was keeping everything and everyone safe. But you, I can't lose you before I've even had time to give you a chance. I'm sorry for everything. But, if this is what you want, I'll respect your decision."
"You really thought you could get rid of me sweetheart? You couldn't leave me, even if your life depended on it. So suck my big toe, cuz you're stuck with me for life Miss. Independent."
And he kissed me. He kissed me right there like his life depended on it. And I did too. This wasn't what I wanted, but I'm so damn happy that I got it.
