“June 21st
Shoua, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. I’m falling in love with you, and you don’t even know it. Love, Anthony”

“Aren’t you tired from last night?”
“With you? Never.” “I can do this every day, every hour—from every single corner of this house to the floor to the bed to the bathroom. I’d be able to fuck you as if my life depended on it the way I need air.”

“Even if we don’t build a home here, I will always want it all with you.”

“Baby, I want to build a home with you.”

“Exactly how horny are you right now?”
“I can fuck you until the sun rises if you let me, Shoua.”

“I’ve always loved you, but I’m in love with you. Not as a friend, but as a man. I love you.”

“Last week you said we were a mistake,”
“I did,”
“Then,” “let me be the mistake you repeat again and again.”
“Again and again,”
“Let me be your mistake for this summer and the next and then the one after that. Please,”

“You think I’m not looking at you, but I am. I’m always looking at you.”
“I’m always following you with my gaze, through the crowd or through the room. You’re beautiful, Shoua. Just absolutely breathtaking.”

“I was consumed by her and only her even amid my own worries. Because with her, I always knew I’d be fine. With her, I knew who I was.”

“…I have been consumed by a profound longing to just be with Shoua. She’s my best friend, but my brain reacted as if I had never laid eyes on any other woman before whenever she was around. Wherever she went, my eyes followed. Whatever she did, I wanted to do it with her. Wherever she was, I wanted to be with her.”
