Quotes edit see section history

• “Shifting closer, she brought her hands to frame his face, looked deep into his midnight eyes. "I knew I'd fallen in love with you, but I didn't realize, not until this morning in that little yard, all that loving you meant. If I underestimated your love for me, I barely saw my love for you -- I had no appreciation of love's strengths and power. I didn't realize that because I love you, my heart had already made up its mind, given itself to you and would remain yours regardless of anything and everything. I didn't realize that I am now, already, inextricably linked with you, no matter what I say or do -- that you are, now, foreever and always, all I want, all I need. All I will ever desire."”
