“Tempting as your offer is, I won’t go home with you. I can’t sleep with you, Justin. You say it doesn’t have to be that way, but you and I both know that’s the way it would be. You’re a risk I can’t afford to take.”

“Don’t leave me, Em. You’re my salvation.”

“Look at the picture, Emma. Do you see his expression? He looks like he’s been waiting his whole life to find you and suddenly there you are.”

“Do you know how many people would give anything for what you have? Not the fame or wealth—the opportunity to wake up tomorrow healthy, pain free and with a future stretching out before them?”

“When you’re gone and people remember you, what will they say about you? That you were happy, generous and kind? That you loved big? Or that you were the drunken singer in a rock band?”

“You really are a ray of sunshine, aren’t you?”

“Life is beautiful – but no one comes out of it alive. So live each day as if it’s your last. Walk in the sunshine. Dance beneath the stars. Laugh hard and long and never, ever forget how very special you are.”

“Tempting as your offer is, I won’t go home with you. I can’t sleep with you, Justin. You say it doesn’t have to be that way, but you and I both know that’s the way it would be. You’re a risk I can’t afford to take.”

“The night of my accident, when I opened my eyes and you were there? Seeing you again, Rebecca...It was like someone let the air back into the room.”

“I miss you so much. I miss us. There’s not a day goes by that I don’t regret walking away from you.”

“Us? There is no us. You threw us away like yesterday’s trash.”
