“…and suddenly I love you beyond all measure is not just words but a heart, a soul bursting open, a stripping raw of all pretense. It is Sully, it is Gabriel, it is his tears on my face, his body in mine, our minds seamless. It is hopes and dreams and failures. It is apologies and a prayer for redemption. It is heaven and damnation.
All that I am is yours pales beside it.
It is everything.
It is love.”
― Linnea Sinclair, Shades of Dark

“Something cascaded lightly through me—a gentling, a suffused glow. If love could be morphed into a physical element, this would be it. It was strength and yet it was vulnerability. It was all-encompassing and yet it was freedom. It was a wall of protection. It was wings of trust and faith.

It was Gabriel Ross Sullivan, answering the questions I couldn’t ask. Not that everything would be okay, but that everything in his power would be done, and we’d face whatever outcomes there were together.”

“An expensive play toy. It's different, so people want it. Then they get bored, look for something newer, better. I don't work that way."

A slow nod of a face badly in need of a shave. "I don't either."

I slipped my hand from under his, picked up the Stinger again. "There's much to be said for dependability. Reliability. Consistency." I held it up, as if in inspection. it was plan and functional compared to the sleek Carver. "It's not fancy. No Frills. But it will never, ever let me down.”

“Chasidah. Angel. I love you beyond all measure. That is the only real truth.”
― Linnea Sinclair, Gabriel's Ghost

“Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel has lost his words. They have all fled, shamed to be in his company. He’s left now with only a few, simple ones. They are inadequate. They cannot begin to convey all that he feels. But they are all he has.

Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel is sorry. Gabriel is sorry. Gabriel is sorry.

Chasidah. Angel. The grievous wrong isn’t as much in the questions Chasidah couldn’t ask. But in the only real truth that Gabriel could tell, and did not.

Chasidah. Angel. Gabriel loves you beyond all measure. That is the only real truth.”
