“She whispered a verse by Amanda Hamilton:
You came again,
blinding my eyes
like the shimmer of sun upon the sea.
Just as I feel free

Each time I forget you
your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still.
And so farewell
until the next time you come,
until at last I do not see you.”

“She'd given love a chance; now she wanted simply to fill the empty spaces. Ease the loneliness while walling off her heart.”
