His eyes observed the world attentively. The landscape in them was Antarctica, with ice fragments and darker sea waves, with a cold, bright blue light – sharp, smart. (You Are My Sea)

“Arnold, do you hate me?”
“No.”
“Then why do you keep harassing me?! Have I ever displeased you in any way? What... what is this behavior of yours?”
“Love.” I shrugged my shoulders.
“Love?!” His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
“Yeah. I think I love you.” (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
“But starting from scratch is so scary.”
“Why?”
“Because less and less people believe in you and your dreams.”
“The most important thing is that you believe in them. Even when no one else does.”
“You and I are different.”
“Now yes, but if you had to know, before nobody believed in me. (You Are My Sea)

My heart kept sending warnings. “You are in love! In love! In love!" it echoed in my mind. (You Are My Sea)

I slowly put my arm around Peter, praying for him not to oppose this. He didn't. It was the first time we’d actually shared a real hug. (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
He moved closer and kissed me. I kissed back and felt shattered at the marvel of love. It felt even better than the first time we were kissing, for now I knew that he wanted it too. (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
I can't help it. I find myself crushing on you, Arnold. It's getting stronger every time we talk, every time you show me you care. (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
I am a deeply emotional person, but I hide it most of the time, and you really managed to get my soul to speak. (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
The more we were kissing, the more I felt myself losing shape. I became a soul, and he became one, too. We were dancing together like water without vessels in a non-gravity environment. (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
Seeing me hesitate, he got closer and gave me a liplock, to which I just couldn't say no. I loved him so much. Without even thinking, I started kissing him back, as lovingly as I could, trying to light a flame in his cold soul, in the way one would try to ignite the fire in a sea cave, cold and dark. (You Are My Sea)

“Did you... have a crush on her?” Asking this question was harder than I thought. But it was always better to know the truth rather than lie to yourself. (You Are My Sea)

“Arnold...” His voice sounded different, it was softer and also somewhat desperate. “Arnold, can you kiss me?”
“What?”
“Please.” His serious look told me he wasn't joking. “I need to feel something different than this despair. I must stop thinking about the past, I must return to the world of the living and look at the future.” (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
“Why do you think I like you?” He looked me straight in the eyes, and I tried to control the urge to kiss his beautiful lips.
“I... I don't know,” I replied honestly. “Maybe it's because I like you? And it makes me biased?” (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
“Arnold, you are such a bad influence. I am saying it for the last time tonight. Keep your distance.” He turned away.
“As you wish... The longer the wait, the sweeter the kiss.” (You Are My Sea)
Tina Isabel Leung
My heart changed into an alarmed soldier, kicking and hitting at the bony fortress it was locked in. I could sense it screaming at my blood to flow faster. I wished it could wash away all of the love, preventing it from infecting me and taking over my system. But it was too late. I was already infected – and my system was out of control. (You Are My Sea)

“But why have you chosen me?”
“I'm not sure. Why does everyone need to know the reason?”
“Because they are afraid of losing the quality which makes others love them.”
“But love isn't just about one element, love is about the totality of a person.” (You Are My Sea)
