"..."You cannot walk away from love."
That was the advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper.
And that is how he found her.
No, this is not a love story.
But it is a story about love, and the power it has over our life.
The power to heal or destroy.
and this is where the story begins.
...l didn't want you interested in me just because I owned a pretty face.
...You did not want me to be interested in you just because you owned a pretty bank account.
Then we have something in common.
We are both not to be trusted.
...we have all the time in the world to get to know each other.
No, not all the time.
I will give you as many moments, days, nights as you need.
Do you believe as my sister does...
...that pleasure could ever be sinful?
Here, we are the past.
There, you are the future.
Why did you choose to leave it?
To escape the future.
To become someone else, I think.
I am someone else with you.
Someone more like...
...myself.
You made my heart stop.
Feel my heart. Feel how fast it's beating?
Christ.
You'll be the death of me.
I hope so.
...l will tell you the story of how we came to be here.
It is an interesting tale.
Some of it is even true.
But for now, all I can say...
...is that from the moment I saw her...
...l loved her.
And no matter the price...
...you cannot walk away from love."
