What does the word 'love' mean to you?



Kim. Teri. I want to answer this with a single word, but love doesn't work that way.

Audrey. I thought of her first.

Love is...Teri and I fought. They weren't big fights. We'd give each other the silent treatment, give absentminded kisses that stung, give each other some space. I was horrified the first time it happened. I thought it would be the last time.

But we always made up. I'd apologize; she'd apologize. Or neither of us would say anything and we'd relax back into each other's lives.

Audrey and I haven't fought. I have that to look forward to.

I've fought for her. I've held a gun in my hand and prepared myself to use it for no reason but to protect her.

I killed people because they threatened her, threatened her life. I don't regret it.

Love is refusing to give in, refusing to let go. And as long as there's a fight, you know it's still there.
