From Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty:
"I almost can't believe I'm going to make myself vulnerable to him again. But what is love but the most extreme and exquisite form of risk perception? I know that relationships don't last. And yet, with Marcus, the risk of not being with him is much worse than any other hurt I can imagine...A relationship ends because you've outgrown it. It can begin again because you, as two, can fill the new shape."
