“But the truth is, the concept of love just ain’t that simple anymore. What people call love now is merely infatuation—more about themselves than trying to actually get to know a person. Whatever happened to asking someone out to dinner, walking you up to your porch to make sure you get in safe, having picnics in the park, or passing notes to profess your love? Whatever happened to love that isn’t superficial?”
― Ebony LaDelle, Love Radio

“That I have no trust in anyone? Even close friends? Because when they’re supposed to have your back but don’t, that pain is hard to shake. How do I tell her I need help without her prying and asking what’s wrong? Without her wanting to know every detail of that humiliating night?”

“I see now why you needed space to heal. I needed space to get my shit together. To be a better man for myself, and hopefully one day a better man for you.
I love you, Danielle. You probably knew that, but you’ve made me recognize the power of words, how they matter, so I’m telling you now. Here, so that this is a love note you can hold close to you. Whatever happens between us, whatever man you end up settling down with (although I promise he’ll suck in comparison to me), keep this note. Write about me in one of your books, write about us. That will be your love note to me. A way to subtly let me know you never forgot about me. This memory. This moment in time when the world was so confusing and we had to grow up, and we grew up in one another. That our time together was boundless, that affection and appreciation and fondness and emotion are all the things we felt together (and yes, I looked at a thesaurus for words to describe love, so what). Because I love you. Did I say that? I love you enough to lose you, to be thankful to have had you, to want you to be the happiest version of Danielle you can be. And whether that’s with me or without, your mom is right. If anyone deserves a true love story, it’s you.”

“Say the words I've been dying to hear." I pause. "Don't ever think I fell for you or fell over you. I didn't fall in love, I rose in it. I saw you and made up my mind. My mind. And I made up my mind to follow you too”

“I came in trying to win her over, and she came in and changed my entire path. The best love I could possibly give her is selfless love--to let her go on whatever journey she needs to go on to find love within herself and hope one day she comes back to me. She is the type of love songwriters like Smokey Robinson were inspired by.”
― Ebony LaDelle, Love Radio

“And what Danielle brought to my life, man, She never have up on me. She never accepted my impulse to settle. She saw beneath my complacency and called out my jitters. She told me to read more, and I did. Which helped me get over my own issues. She helped me understand it's okay not to be so heroic all the damn time, and that showing your faults is okay, it only makes you human. Everything about her, everything about this, changed me. If I wanted a girl like Dani, I needed to be a better human myself. She made me grow the hell up.”
― Ebony LaDelle, Love Radio

“My mom set an example of what happens when life throws a curveball at you and you crawl and scratch your way out to survive. She fought for herself. And to me, that males her one of the most powerful people in the world. I know she can.”

“I do one thing: I sneak a glance at Prince. His headphones are halfway off his ears, and he looks like he hasn't moved since I hit the runway, transfixed. I give him a smile, and even with the stage lights blinding me, I see his dimple form. I'm floating.”

― Ebony LaDelle, Love Radio

“Prince, I'm still not in love with you yet." I hesitate before I let the words comes out of my mouth. I just . . . like what this is so far." He leans, back beaming way too hard. "Yet”

“I remember the way music took my mom away from the moment while she was coming to terms with her diagnosis, how me and her were singing songs that I didn't even know I knew. Like, no lie, I could sing every verse to the song but at the time probably couldn't name the artist if my life depended on it. It all just shows the power of music. It's a testament that music saves. It's more than just a tune, a song--music takes you back to a time and place that's happier, that's somber, that's a relief . . . you listen to a song and it brings about a memory.”
