“I fell in love with the idea that a story could have places of origin and its own lineage, not entirely unlike a person.

synchronized with mine. The way he kissed me like I was the only way he could breathe…the way he
embraced me like pure love. The way he possessed me
like Poe
possessed
Annabel Lee
and she him.”

Her words were abruptly smothered.
He was kissing her, she realized dazedly. What did it mean? What did he want? What... but her thoughts dissolved, and she stopped trying to make sense of anything.
His arms had closed around her, one hand gripping the back of her neck. Shaken to her soul, she molded against him. Taking her sobs into his mouth, he licked deep, his kiss strong and savage. It had to be a dream, and yet her senses insisted it was real, the scent and warmth and toughness of him engulfing her. He pulled her even more tightly against him, making it difficult to breathe. She didn't care. The pleasure of the kiss suffused her, drugged her, and when he pulled his head back, she protested with a bewildered moan.
Christopher forced her to look back at him. "Loved?" he asked hoarsely. "Past tense?"
"Present tense," she managed to say.
"You told me to find you."
"I didn't mean to send you that note."
"But you did. You wanted me."
"Yes." More tears escaped her stinging eyes. He bent and pressed his mouth to them, tasting the salt of grief.
Those gray eyes looked into hers, no longer bright as hellfrost, but soft as smoke. "I love you, Beatrix."
Maybe she was capable of swooning after all.
It certainly felt like a swoon, her knees giving way, her head lolling against his shoulder as he lowered them both to the threadbare carpet. Fitting his arm beneath her neck, Christopher covered her mouth with his again. Beatrix answered helplessly, unable to withhold anything. Their legs tangled, and he let his thigh nuzzle between hers.”

“I fell in love with you
For once, twice, thrice and
A thousand million times
From the time I know you
I waited for you like
How the sky waits for the moon
The moon arrives every night
But you are nowhere
Near my sight
Holding the
Broken pieces
Of my heart
I longed for you
Now, my words are angry
With your silence
Holding the
Broken pieces
Of my heart
I am leaving you
Though
I fell in love with you
For once, twice, thrice and
A thousand million times
From the time I know you”

“I fell in love with you," he started, and her heart hammered, hammered in her chest. "Not Aurora, not even Briar--- but you, your joy and your dreams and your laughter in the woods. The fact that you ended up being Aurora anyway solidified that this is fate. You and me. If it is magic manipulating us yet again, then this is one coercion I accept with open arms. I know everything you've been through, everything you've lost and been given anew, but I want you to know that I am going into this marriage fully and clearly. I am yours, yours, whoever you choose to be, Briar or Aurora or someone new. There is no iteration of you that I will not fall in love with, and I hope you can see me as something solid to lean on when all else is in question.”

You’re the first thing I’ve believed in since— since I don’t even remember, okay, you’re— you’re movies and destiny and every stupid, impossible thing, and it’s not because of the fucking train, it’s because of you. It’s because you fight and you care and you’re always kind but never easy, and you won’t let anything take that away from you. You’re my hero, Jane. I don’t care if you think you’re not one. You are.”

Suddenly, my heart seemed swollen, too large for my chest.”
