Not in the Cards Quotes

“Falling in love and staying in love feel so different sometimes. Falling in love feels like a roller coaster. Butterflies. A careening free fall.

There are snacks and a good playlist. Sometimes there’s some road rage. Some bumps and detours, but the journey is fun, and the destination is worth it.”

Always do everything I can to make you happy.” He reached down and slipped my hand into his. “And I promise to always fill your life with adventure.”
