    Gayle Forman
    “If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.”

    I smile up at him "It's beautiful. But what comes next?"
    "The best part." And he pulls me back into his arms. "The happily ever after.”
