“You’re my storm,” he had whispered once, face buried in her neck after a long night, his gentle hands tracing her scars like maps to buried treasure. And she had loved him for it, fiercely, in ways she had never allowed herself before. Very much.

“The confrontation with death—and the reprieve from it—makes everything look so precious, so sacred, so beautiful that I feel more strongly than ever the impulse to love it, to embrace it, and to let myself be overwhelmed by it.

I wonder if we could love passionately, if ecstasy would be possible at all, if we knew we'd never die." — Abraham Maslow”
