But I want to be near you always," he reminded her."But you'll lose everyone else, and...""I want forever with you." Seth lifted her chin so he was able to look directly into her eyes. "The rest will fall into place if I can be with you.

Seth gave her that: a private space to believe in the illusion of normalcy.

Hold me? If you still want to, I mean." She looked away. "Everyday"--then he was there, lifting her into his arms, holding her like she was fragile and precious--"I want to hold you every day. Nothing will ever change that.

Sometimes being human sucks.

Tell me i'm not losing more of you to him every fucking day. -Seth

I was thinking it was worth the risk if it meant forever with my faery girlfriend.

Some things are more important than safety.

You are the single most amazing person, faery, woman in this world or the other. Because of you, I am a part of this strange new world, have a second mother, and . . . eternity. I have almost everything I could want.
