Counting Miracles A Novel

Also, the way he told me he loved me was probably taken out of a Nicholas Sparks book. I haven't read all of them. And I'm sure now 100%, he literally ripped that out of a page. But it was the most beautiful profession of love I've ever heard in my life. Like he was a poet. It was beautiful. I was like, oh, I'm scoring. This man is in touch with his feelings. He's basically a poet. I scored Nicholas Sparks here.

It's now dawning on me that he knew. He knew when I was leaving Colorado that this could not go on anymore and that would be the last time he saw me. I had no clue. He knew he had to sabotage the relationship on purpose so I would break up with him and this could be over because I was getting too damn close to finding out about him.

I was like, well, you're coming back to Hawaii. I'm going to see you and I'm moving to D.C. We were back on that plan. Then it just all went to shit.

It was so sad and we both were crying. I felt so loved. This trip was a little bit rocky and we had broken up before. So I think he was realizing he was losing me. And he was just so distraught. Like it was put that in the Nicholas Sparks movie again, like the tearful goodbye at the airport, which had my heart wrenched.

What I think we disagree a lot on is that you think family and faith are a big fix to the problems we have.

I mean, I don't have a family and I definitely don't have faith. So I get it. You're definitely not part of the solution. Maybe I am.

Well, you did in the book.

I said that for the first time in our country's history, membership in an organized religion has dropped below 50%.

Well we've got to wake up the masses to what the issues are because you kind of get back to your life and you think, hey, things are like they always were.

So it's all Nicholas Sparks hats and just like sitting on a beach with the sea willows.
