>"From the moment we first met I knew there was something between us... that for better or worse our lives would somehow be forever entangled. During the bad times I really thought we'd both die with our hands around each others throats. I won't lie, it was rough for me, but I needed to grow and I couldn't have come this far without you. When I look in the mirror I don't hate the person staring back at me quite so much, I can stand a little taller and feel a little bigger because I have you and Jen supporting me."Amy gazes into Nikki's piercing green eyes
>"I have no regrets and the only thing I fear in this life is not being able to deliver on the faith you guys have placed in me."Amy notices Nikki visibly relax, she's spent enough time studying Nikki's body language to know that for Nikki, who spends so much time on edge, to truly let her defences down is a rare occurrence.
>"I love spending time with you too. I wish we could do this more often, but I know you're a free spirit and I wouldn't want to cage you. The only thing I've ever wanted is to be close to you and to make you smile because you deserve happiness and peace and... love... and I want to be the one to give those things to you."
