Saw this from my itouch dated October 2009. It was our sembreak and my family and I were on a vacation in Hong Kong. It was almost midnight, the weather was cold, and my room had the perfect view of the harbor dividing Kowloon from Hong Kong. Consequently, I thought of reading a few pages before I sleep. Then, I got captivated. How could someone love so much? Would it be possible to find a love that pure now?
“I smiled, feeling as if my heart had been inflated. How long had it been, I wonered, since we’d laugh and joked in the kitchen like this? Months? Years, even? Even though I realized that it might only be temporary, it nonetheless stroked the small flame of hope I had begun to nurture in secret.”
“Opening my arms, I drew her close. Her body was warm and soft, her cheek damped against my own. And as we stood in Noah’s house two days before our anniversary, I held her against me, wishing with all my heart for time to stop, now and forever.”
