“I had a plan for when I saw Sutton. That plan was to meet her at the door–which I accomplished by waiting in the parking lot for her–and tell her she looked beautiful. Then I was going to open the door for her and say I wanted to start over and ask for a clean slate. But when I saw her standing there I just couldn’t help but tease her. Something about seeing her brown eyes narrow at me gets my blood pumping.”

I love that you have a list for everything and that you have expensive taste but don’t want anyone to know it. I love seeing your face light up while you’re ice skating and the furrow in between your brows when you’re working on something. I love your witty remarks, your smile, and your brown eyes that look like rich hot cocoa. I love you.”
