Taking Chances

Life is full of making mistakes and learning from them. Life is also about taking risks and facing your fears. Love can be one of those mistakes/risks some aren't willing to take especially if you're Hazel and not want to break anyone's heart if you know you won't be living for too much longer.
Now that Augustus and Hazel are finally on their trip they are really getting non-stop time together. On their first night of getting settled into the hotel Hazel's mom told her to put on a pretty dress and get ready for Augustus to go to dinner. At first she was very hesitent to it and wasn't really all for it but after she saw him dressed all nice and in his suit she got very excited to see what the night had in store for the two of them.
After the car ride they arrived at an extemely nice waterfront resturant and began their meal, it was really sweet to see how Hazel had really opened up to have a relationship with him but she still has some resistence against it just because of the simple fact that she doesn't want to break his heart.
Augustus had a girlfriend, Caroline, that also had cancer and passed away. Hazel doesn't want him to have to go through that situation again.
During dinner Hazel asked about Caroline and Augustus was trying to explain to her that he didn't like her all that much and he just stayed with her because she really liked him and was dying of cancer which in a way I think is nice but then again I wouldn't want someone to be with me just because they feel bad for me.
After the whole night of going to a fancy dinner, looking at the stars and all the heart to heart conversations they had my all time favorite line that was said was when Augustus said to Hazel,
 "It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you."
