—Nicholas Sparks in Dear John

Change isn't always for the best.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Best of Me

Spending time with you showed me what I've been missing in my life. The more time we spent together, the more I could imagine it lasting in the future. That's never happened to me before, and I'm not sure it'll ever happen again. I've never been in love with anyone before you came along — not real love anyway…not like this. And I'd be a fool if I let you slip away without a fight.

—Nicholas Sparks in The Choice

I had no regrets about the way I'd turned out. Regrets about the journey, maybe, but not the destination.
