“I want to marry you," he said.
My heart stopped. "You do?"
"Desperately."
"Oh," I whispered.
"I didn't know how you felt about it either. And I was afraid I would scare you away if I said something too soon, but I would have married you yesterday. I would have married you a month ago. A year ago. Five years ago."
"But you've had all those long-term relationships. And you've never even been engaged."
"Because I didn't want to spend the rest of my life with them.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Overdue

“This, of course, was the moment that sticks with me forever, the axis on which so many other moving parts of my life would turn. Every decision we make ends up cascading into others, affecting our lives in ways we can't possibly comprehend. Most of these events seem inconsequential at the time, infinite grains of sand under our feet as we walk on by. Others, however, are huge boulders dividing our journey in two undeniable paths.”
