In front of him stood the woman of his dreams, giving him one last chance to kiss her. Reason didn’t stand a chance.

Tan Redding
About This Quote

This quote is by Patricia Cornwell. In the book, she is writing about a man who is obsessed with the idea of marrying the woman of his dreams. He has one chance at getting her and must do so before she marries someone else. Reason doesn’t stand a chance because he is already in love with her and gives up on his plan to give her a better life.

It seems that he can’t let her go and thinks that this one last kiss will be enough to change her mind about him. But, as you might guess, it is not enough.
