“The never-ending ache of love and sorrow. Perhaps in some other life I could have refused, could have torn my hair and screamed, and made him face his choice alone. But not in this one. He would sail to Troy and I would follow, even into death. Yes, I whispered. Yes.”

“I’ll love you until my heart gives out. I’ll be your man for a thousand years. Longer if I’m allowed.”
