'I’m so happy that people like this line, because I was so unsure about whether or not it would work when I wrote it.' Are you kidding me - that has to be one of my favourite lines in the whole story! And one of the most romantic lines I've ever read of al

Thank you! You know, I know that everyone loved it in hindsight and on a certain unattributed post, the quote has gotten over 7,000 notes.

When I wrote it, I really liked the line itself. I partly got it from Revelations, and after I wrote it, I kind of sat back and thought… This works for me but is this going to work for everyone else? Is this way way way too much? Should I dial it back? Am I expressing what I really want to get across or is it going to ring hollow?

But I went ahead and included it anyway because it just felt right in its context. And next thing I know it’s the most oft-quoted line from my books, both in comments and reviews, and online. I took a gamble and it paid off. And I’m glad you like it too :)
