"Suddenly, it was if the roar of the crowd, the echo of the final buzzer, the cheers of my teammates were all sounding from a thousand miles away and what remained in that bizarre, muffled silence was only Peyton; the girl whose art and passion and beauty had changed my life... we had always been meant for each other and every instinct to the contrary had simply been a denial of the following truth: I was now, and would always be, in love with Peyton Sawer."
