In the book The Kissing Kosher by Jean Meltzer. The character Ethan is in a park proposing to Avital to be her girlfriend after having such a strong fight, they were talking about the future, religion, and what they believed in for them.
“I don’t know if there’s a God, Avi,” Ethan said, meeting her eyes directly. “But I know that when I look at you, there’s something good in this universe. There’s something better, still worth fighting for. You are— “The words caught in his
throat “—- you’re the very best thing to ever happen to me.
-“Ethan…”. (p. 14)
I liked this quotation because we see that they have a lot of obstacles in the relationship because of the family of Ethan and Avital, that Ethan was a person that it not easy to express himself and his feelings, the lack of communication and a big secret that Ethan had. We see that both of them solved their problems and this was the first time that Ethan expressed himself and how he felt about Avital.
