“It's your heart," Emery said, standing over him on the operating table, holding Lucien's kitchen knife in one hand. "It's going to have to come out." James folded his hands protectively over his chest. "No, I like my heart where it is, thanks." "It'll kill you if you leave it in there." "It will kill me if you cut it out. Look, if you want it, it's yours. But you don't need to carve it out of me to have it." Emery rested the tip of the knife against James' chest where his shirt parted. "The tree wants it, you know. It wants all of you.”
