    Charlaine Harris
    “We could go back," he said. In the dome light of the car, his face looked hard as stone. "We could go back to your house. I can stay with you always.

    "Sounds like a marriage," I said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. But my voice was too shaky.

    "Yes," he said.”

    no peace, no rest for her body, love will give her none.”
