“This is how life works. Deciding whom to love is not an alien form of decision-making, a romantic interlude in the midst of normal life.

Living is an inherently emotional business.”

But thee is my wolf, and best thee know that.’He’d started to burn when she spoke, an ignition swift and fierce as the lighting of one of his cousin’s matches. He put out his hand, palm forward, to her, still cautious lest she too, burst into flame.’What I said to ye, before . . . that I kent ye loved me-‘She stepped forward and pressed her palm to his, her small, cool fingers linking tight.’What I say to thee now is that I do love thee.

He wasn’t one of those guys, so he wasn’t about to keep asking. If Angel knew anything, he’d tell him.

“I have seen clouds part for the sun. I have seen rainbows. I have seen flowers in the morning, covered in dew, and I have seen sunsets so brilliant with fire they made me want to weep.
