“Life can change in the blink of an eye. What we know, what we love -- it can all change.
Our comfort, our security, our home -- it can all be taken away.
One phone call can change everything. One phone call can take a well-ordered plan and leave us without a compass.
That's all it takes -- one phone call. And then we are left to begin again, start over, find a new home.
In the blink of an eye. ”
― Maryann Jordan, Emma's Home

I beg you to forgive me, beautiful. You come before everything to me. You even come before my own pride. I’m a Zorn warrior. I have fought many battles in war. I carry scars from lost lives I took in battle. I hunt and I do it well. I have never been captured and I have never been brought to my knees.” He reached out to caress her cheek. “Then I look into your eyes and remember your laugh. I am there, beautiful. You have caught me and I am on my knees to you.”
