Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”

“When you love someone, they become a part of who you are. They're in everything you do. They're in the air you breathe and the water you drink and the blood in your veins.

You want them. You want—"

She knew if she just reached out now, she could touch it, touch the rune cut into his shoulder, the rune she had put there …”
