Collide Quotes

“I’d always wondered if I would ever encounter that kind of

settle down? Yeah, right.
Gemma Michaels had other plans, though. The night we
spent together at the park was the promise of what was to
come; we just didn’t know it then.
“I wanted to bring you back to the place where I began to
fall in love with you,” I’d said.

When we got older, Molly asked my dad why he’d
ultimately decided to stay following Mom’s affair. His answer
had been simple. “No one is without fault, Molly. Giving up
on the person that matters most to you because they acted out
of fear is not love—you fight for love, dear. Because things
worth caring about, the things that make your heart race,
those are the things worth fighting for.”
I didn’t get it then.
But now, as I looked into Gemma’s eyes, I finally
understood what he’d meant.”
