“Not to mention, assuming an owner of a business is a guy is just not my mom’s MO.

“Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room?

“I bless your bond with him, Dani my heart," Mom said. "Treat it well, because he will treat you well. The bond of your heart bloomed well before the bond of your blood. There was a reason the Mother paired you together: the two of you as one force could sway the tides of any war.” ― Sabrina Blackburry

“Mom was standing in the door of the gazebo watching us. She was beaming from ear to ear. She knew. Something ingrained that told her she was seeing true love. Her heart remembering even though her brain had forgotten. She didn’t know who I was or who he was. But she still knew what love was.” ― Abby Jimenez

You can't.” ― Adam Levin
