"No one has ever looked at me the way she does."

-Haley Cass, When You Least Expect It

"I like the idea that you’d come to me at the end of a hard day and know that I want to be there for you. And that it doesn’t have anything to do with taking anything away from your independence because your independence is something I love about you. One of the many things. Because I just… love you. I love that you always put Abbie first. I love that you are probably the strongest person I’ve ever met. I love how persistent you are, how stubborn, how determined – and I love that all of those words somehow feel different when I use them to describe you. I love that you’re sweet and warm and sexy and that you can take anything that comes your way with grace, but if the same thing happens to someone you care about, then you’re ready to go to war."
