I used to always pride myself in being in possession of myself, but I don't think I can claim that anymore. Loving someone as much as I love you... I don't know. I am completely yours."

"No, let's do it," she decided, pulling a blanket off the arm of the couch. "If I scream, though, don't you dare laugh at me."
