When you cried, I learned what helplessness tastes like. Because all I could do was swallow.

"This doesn't mean anything," Haley whispers as she reaches up and pulls at the Velcro of my glove. "Yes, it does." I bring my arms to my sides and the instant the gloves fall to the floor, my hands latch on to that beautiful body. "Tell me, Haley. Please tell me it does because this means something to me."

She was here, with him, and she felt like heaven. The soft scent of her hair, the slight taste of salt on her skin-- she was, he thought, born to rest in the shelter of his arms. And he was born to hold her. -Benedict's thoughts about Sophie

"You stopped," she whispered, looking surprised. "This isn't the place," he replied. For a moment her face showed no change of expression. Then, almost as if someone were pulling a shade over her face, horror dawned. It started in her eyes, which grew impossibly round and somehow even more green than usual, then it reached her mouth, her lips parting as a gasp of air rushed in. "I didn't think," she whispered, more to herself than to him. "I know." He smiled. "I know. I hate it when you think. It always ends badly for me." "We can't do this again." "We certainly can't do it here." "No, I mean--" "You're spoiling it." "But--" "Humor me," he said, "and let me believe the afternoon ended without your telling me this will never happen again." "But--" He pressed a finger to her lips. "You're not humoring me." "But--" "Don't I deserve this one little fantasy?" At last, he broke through. She smiled. "Good," he said. "That's more like it." Her lips quivered, then, amazingly, her smile grew. "Excellent," he murmured. "Now then, I'm going to leave. And you have only one task while I go. You will stay right here, and you will keep smiling. Because it breaks my heart to see any other expression on your face." "You won't be able to see me," she pointed out. He touched her chin. "I'll know." And then, before her expression could change from that enchanting combination of shock and adoration, he left. -Sophie & Benedict"

"I don't know what was more exhausting--being forced to spew out overwrought poetry for hours on end or having that little girl gaze at me all night as if I hung the moon." A wry smile touched Adrian's lips. "Didn't you?" "No," Julian retorted, lifting the decanter to the sky in a mocking toast. "Only the stars."
