“His love hadn’t been a thunderbolt from the sky. It had started with a smile, a word, a teasing glance. Every second he had spent in her presence it had grown, until he’d reached this moment, and he suddenly knew. He loved her." ― Julia Quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton
— Chapter 13, ROMANCING MISTER BRIDGERTON
"Ever since I found out you are Whistledown, I have done everything I can to try and separate you from her. But the other day I went back and read all of the letters you have sent me. Your letters have always been the ones I am most eager to read, and I realized... you are her. You have always had one voice. There is no separating you from Whistledown. And after seeing you speak today... well, I would not want to. ... If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man indeed." "I love you. You are a very good man, Mr. Bridgerton." "I love you."

It is not what you do for me that makes me love you. It's your kindness. Your empathy. How much you care. Just being you is enough, Colin. I do not need you to save me. I just need you to stand by me. To hold me. To kiss me.
