We knew, and to see her there like that with you-and armed. I think I died a thousand deaths, Ana.

Drawing up my knees, I fold in on myself. I want to make myself as small as possible. Perhaps this nonsensical pain will be smaller the smaller I am. Placing my head on my knees, I let the irrational tears fall unrestrained. I am crying over the loss of something I never had. How ridiculous.

This is all I know, too. Perhaps together we can chart a new course.

Love is for fools, Christian.

We always hurt the ones we love, darling. You’ll have to tell her you’re sorry. And mean it and give her time. - Grace Trevelyan-Grey to Christian Grey

I am completely caught up in your spell...

Life is never going to be boring with Christian, and I’m in this for the long haul. I love this man: my husband, my lover, father of my child, my sometimes Dominant……my Fifty Shades.

I'm intoxicated with this man, my man, my Fifty Shades.

I need him to want me like I want and need him, and deep down I know that's not possible.
