Beside her, she can feel each breath he draws. How is it possible to be so close to a person and still not know what you are to each other? With baseball, it's simple. There's no mystery to what happens on the field because everything has a label -- full count, earned run, perfect game -- and there's a certain amount of comfort in this terminology. There's no room for confusion and Ryan wishes now that everything could be so straightforward. But then Nick pulls her closer, and she rests her head on his chest, and nothing seems more important that this right here. Jennifer E. Smith
About This Quote

When two people are in love, they can feel each breath that the other is drawing. They know what the other is thinking without saying a word. The feel of the other's heartbeat, the touch of their skin, the feeling of their lips against their own. They can feel everything so close to them, it feels hard to imagine that they are so far apart.

And yet this distance is what makes them strong. They are so close together but yet so far apart. It almost hurts to be apart, but both know that sometimes distance must be there for safety and protection.
