❝ There were no conditions to my love. ❞

❝ What's the odds you'd get stuck here too? ❞

❝ It might be a lost cause. ❞

❝ Who'd have thought there'd be so much left to lose? ❞

❝ Come hell or heaven, angels or devils, I won't move. ❞

❝ I don't care what happens after. I won't quit on you. ❞

❝ You just can't beat that view. ❞
