The Light to My Darkness (The Light to My Darkness #1)

"No. I will never fall for someone new. You're it for me, Penny. You're everything. My heart will stop beating the second that yours does."

"She's not okay," Rob said. "She died in my arms and you weren't there. She stopped breathing. They're not saying anything because they're trying to deliver the baby before it dies too. Because her body is no longer supporting it."

"You know, some people say another person shouldn't complete you. That you should be whole without having to rely on another soul. That you should just be happy the way you are. Do you know what I say to that? Fuck them. I don't care if no one understands us. I don't care if something like this isn't comprehensible to the average person. Because the average person hasn't experienced this love. Our love. Our story. A great love."

And, Penny, I can't survive without your light."
