“Why have the trees changed?" I said, stammering. "*You* have changed," Hyacinth replied. He leaned close to me to study my face. "Ah, so you've grown fond of this place. You feared it once, and now you ache for it to return. You always want what you cannot have, Fraulein.”

“Why do we place so much weight on being desired? Desire requires the least of our primal abilities. Think of the ebb and flow of all the things we desire.

“He gazed at her for what seemed like an eternity before reaching out to stroke her cheek. “I’d just like to forget. Forget every last thing.” Her heart beat erratically from the emotions flickering through his eyes. Need and want. Fear and hope. She couldn’t tell where one emotion ended and the next began.

This was not the wild and savage connection they had shared behind the assembly rooms. Yet, there was passion in its tenderness, and hunger in the languorous fusion of their tongues.”
