You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love. Just as you cannot pick which parts of me you accept.
She could die for love of this speed, this surety in her bones.

It was like coming home or being born or suddenly finding an entire half of herself that had been missing.
It's never made any difference to me when it came to you. I’d still pick you. I’ll always pick you.
I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn't, but I do. So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care what happens.
