How Do I Know You Love Me?
because you accept me for who I am,
because you help me through difficult times,
because you laugh with me in the good times,
because you share your life, your dreams, your sorrows, your joys,!
-Catherine Pulsifer
Rory looked at that slip of paper with the neat writing on it. It wasn't Dean, it must've been Jess. She had found it in her jacket pocket that morning. She sat down at her desk and scribbled a reply, pocketed both pieces of paper and hurried out the door to the diner.
Jess unfolded a slip of paper that he found on one of his trays that morning. Printed in neat writing was :
"You're nothing short of my everything."
- Ralph Block
He smiled and searched through a few of his books until he found the perfect reply. He placed it on her window sill after school that day.
When Rory got home she noticed two things in her room, the shades were up and a small piece of white paper lying on the sill.
"Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never
hurts."
Charles Dickens
"Dodger," she whispered to her self and smiled planning her reply.
The following afternoon Jess woke up and found a slip of paper on his bed. He smiled and unfolded the writing the same as last time.
"Do you love me because I am beautiful,
or am I beautiful because you love me?"
...Cinderella
He quickly scribbled a reply and dressed smiling.
After school when Rory stepped off the bus she saw a white envelope taped to the bench where she had been with Jess the other night. She grabbed the envelope and headed home, only then did she open it.
Love builds bridges where there are none."
-R. H. Delaney
You're beautiful either way. I'm out of quotes meet me on the bench at ten.
