Quote by Brittany M. Willows

“Darling, may I hold your hand? Am I asking too much? Maybe it’s reckless to love, When my heart is made of glass. But if I am to fall, Oh, let it be with you, For I know you’d handle it with care.” He continued, pouring his heart out in the solitude of the sleeping mansion. “Darling, you are the sun when it’s raining, The light when I’m fading, The glimpse of a life I could live. You are the promise of change, Of a soul uncaged, And, darling, I’m dreaming Of a life with you now. Oh, darling, I’m dreaming, Of a life with you now.”

“She had aged more than four years. She had never had very good teeth, and now had lost two, just back of the upper eyeteeth, so that the gaps showed when she smiled. Her skin no longer had the fine taut surface of youth, and her hair, pulled back neatly was dull. Shevek saw clearly that Takver had lost her young grace, and looked a plain, tired woman near the middle of her life. He saw this more clearly than anyone else could have seen it. He saw everything about Takver in a way that no one else could have seen it, from the standpoint of years of intimacy and years of longing. He saw her as she was.”

“Useless to say that I hadn't thought of him when I was doing it. Useless to say that I always thought your acquaintanceship with one person had nothing to do with another. Or to say all the things that went on in my head, the longings, for songs, cigarettes, dark bars, telegrams, cacti, combs in your hair, the circus, nights out, life. He wouldn't understand.”

“Tonight, she thinks of Wes. She thinks of what might have happened if she had canted her hips against his instead of shutting down. She thinks of his tousled hair and bared forearms and their hands rough on each other. She thinks of the expression he wore when they lay tangled together. He looked the same as he did when she fired that dud prototype bullet. Like realization dawned on him, and he could see everything clearly for the first time. Hidden beneath the confusion was something else, burning hotter than an alchemical reaction. Hunger.”
