Ellie! No!" He rushed to her. "God, no! You can't be leaving me! Don't!" He grabbed her face and covered her mouth in a hard, desperate kiss. Her eyes flew open in stunned disbelief; she stopped breathing. He released her mouth but not her face, which he held in his hands, his fingers threaded into her hair. "You can't go, Ellie, you can't. Don't you know how much I love you? God, I'd be nothing without you. I never thought I'd get to feel ..

Luke, I love you. I promise that each day I have you in my life, I will show you my love." Noah's eyes drifted to Ellie's and a smile played about his lips as the bride and groom spoke. "Shelby, I love you. In each day of our lives together, I will show my love. And where there is injury, I will pardon without hesitation." "Where there is doubt, Luke, I will have faith in you." "In times of despair, you will be my hope." "In times of darkne..

I need some time for the rest. I just don't take something like marriage lightly. If I do it, I'll mean it, and I won't change my mind. But I think you'd do it right now for all the wrong reasons." "Does this have anything to do with the guy you didn't let stay last night?" he asked. "My boyfriend?" she asked, smiling. She knew it was naughty to taunt him like that; she wasn't thinking of T.J. as a boyfriend at the moment. "It would be nice..

Mooommmm-eeeee! What are you dooooo-ing?" Sean broke away abruptly and turned scarlet. There, at the end of the couch, stood Rosie, her pajama bottoms and panties missing, Harry standing beside her, his tail wagging out of his tutu. Sean grabbed a throw pillow and held it over the bulge in his jeans, although there was no way Rosie would know what was going on with him. "Kissing Sean," Franci said very naturally. "Where are your pants?" "I ..

Congratulations, man," his brother Aiden said. "How about that, huh?" "Uh, how about what, Aiden?" he asked cautiously. "A little girl, I hear. Three and a half? Almost four?" "Who told you?! How do you know that?" "Who do you think? Luke. He said you caught up with Franci. He told me about the reason she bolted a few years ago. Bet you were surprised, huh?" "I told that son of a bitch not to say anything yet!" "I"

The quick acceptance of George came not so much because of George's natural wit and charm, but because Maureen was so different when he was around. He gentled her; her smile was almost girlish, and the Enforcer had turned into a woman in love. After a couple of hours of general comradery, Colin shook George's hand and said, "My man, we should have hired you years ago to soften up the old girl." "I heard that," Maureen said from the kitchen...

Oh, there was another swearword, not even on the cusp, even though he is definitely a shitbag." She smiled at him. "I bet you've just about had it with me, huh?" He pulled her close. "I've had it with you, all right. And not enough of it, either." "Oh,"

I love it when you stay, but I think you'd better go. I feel like I'm playing with fire every time I let you talk me into bed. I don't want to become too dependent on you. And I don't want the whole town to know we're sleeping together. I have children to think about." "Are you cutting me off?" he asked nervously. She smiled at him. "Did you just whine?" She chuckled at him. "Noah, much as I love cuddling up to you, I don't want your new to..

Ew." "Exactly. You tell her I was less than perfect and I'm a eunuch." She couldn't help it, she laughed. "Gee, and Peyton seems so sweet."

They stood on an incline in the middle of the cemetery and he stepped closer. He lifted her chin to look into her green eyes. "You lost all track of time because we were enjoying ourselves. That means the date was a success." He leaned toward her and gave her a peck on the lips. "Now relax and I'll take you home." And out of nowhere, completely unplanned and unprepared, Maureen threw her arms around George's neck and planted her lips on his..

No reason to be afraid of Nick," Jack said. "I could take you down there and introduce you, threaten to sic my wife on him if he steps out of line." "I bet one knee in the nuts straightens him right out," Ellie said. There was a strange sound from Noah, something of a growl. "I don't like this idea at all. If this guy got fresh with you, I'd have to deal with him. That wouldn't be good." "Horsefeathers," Ellie said. "I can take care of myse..

Look, Mel. Look at that sky. You can't find that anywhere else on earth. All those stars, that moon--the clear black sky. That belongs to us." She looked up at the most gorgeous sky imaginable, with more stars than she thought existed. He stepped behind her and with his hands on both of her upper arms, he gently squeezed. "You just can't see this in the city. In any city." "It is beautiful," she said softly. "I admit, this is beautiful coun..

It's so hard," Andy said. "When you don't have anyone." "Yeah, I know," Gerri agreed. "Yet it's harder when you have the wrong one."
