"You were the one who came into my life and disturbed my peace, so the choice isn't yours to make. I've tried to forget you, but I can't. I've tried to give up on you, but I can't let go. I considered loving you enough to let you go, thought that leaving you alone would be my final act of kindness. But I just can't do it."
"Annabelle Linton, anyone who can just walk away is garbage."
"Who in this world is noble enough to be satisfied just knowing you're happy? People are selfish, and love is even more so. If someone can let you go so easily, it only means they don't love you. It only means they're just looking for an excuse to walk away."
He gazed at her, his voice choked with emotion. "In this world, there's always one person who becomes more important than your own life. Someone you can't cut out, can't abandon. Letting go… that hurts more than death."
