- "I love you, Anastasia. I will do everything in my power to protect you. I cannot imagine my life without you."
- "No, I'm doing this because I've finally met someone I want to spend the rest of my life with."
- "Anastasia Steele. I love you. I want to love, cherish, and protect you for the rest of my life. Be mine. Always. Share my life with me. Marry me."
- "You are so precious to me, Ana. I was serious about marrying you. We can get to know each other then. I can look after you. You can look after me. We can have kids if you want. I will lay my world at your feet, Anastasia. I want you, body and soul, forever. Please think about it."
- "But I'm a selfish man. I've wanted you since you fell into my office. You are exquisite, honest, warm, strong, witty, beguilingly innocent; the list is endless. I'm in awe of you. I want you, and the thought of anyone else having you is like a knife twisting in my dark soul."
- "Appearances can be deceptive," he says quietly. "I'm anything but fine. I feel like the sun has set and not risen for five days, Ana. I'm in perpetual night here."
- "You love me," I whisper. His eyes widen further and his mouth opens. He takes a huge breath, as if winded. He looks tortured-vulnerable. "Yes," he whispers. "I do."
- "Avuncular?"
- "Marry me," he whispers. What? Did he really just-
- "I lay awake for hours and watched you sleep," he murmurs. "I might have loved you even then."
