How much Gus loves Hazel

I think this quote really shows just how much Gus loves and loved Hazel: “What else? She is so beautiful. You don’t get tired of looking at her. You never worry if she is smarter than you: You know she is. She is funny without ever being mean. I love her. I am so lucky to love her, Van Houten. You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.” I really think he loved her for as long as humanly possible. After Hazel read this and said “I do, Augustus. I do.” She REALLY realized how much she meant to him. This also reminds me that we need more Gus and Hazel love stories. I mean they don’t need to die, but we need some more people who end up in that much with that much love for another person. We don’t have a lot of that type of love much anymore.
