I felt overwhelmed. I didn’t expect a first kiss to be so…life altering. In a few brief moments, the rule book of my universe had been rewritten. Suddenly I was a brand new person. I was as fragile as a newborn, but instead of the doctor placing me in my mother’s arms, he’d put me in Ren’s. What would Ren do with me? Would he draw me near, soothe me, and teach me about this new world or would he reject me and tell the doctor there must be some mistake. There was no way to know. What a breakable and delicate thing a heart was, no wonder I’d kept mine locked away. Colleen Houck
About This Quote

When we first fall in love we feel as if the sky is the limit. We think that anything is possible and nothing can go wrong. In a matter of minutes, or even less, we may have been swept off our feet and the world seems to be a better place. This feeling can be compared to a child learning to walk for the first time. They don’t know what’s going to happen next and they don’t want to find out.
