I never gave her a mating gift, and I want to give her this today so I can put a baby in her tonight.

Maybe making a few “drain babies” wasn’t a bad idea.

I wish she weren’t so noisy, but I’m willing to endure the noise to have her with me.

I will provide for her. I will protect her. I will give her anything she wants.

I wonder how her tribe can make such strange and complicated clothing but not even know how to wear a simple wrap!

When I connected with Raine physically, I could feel every bit of her soul within my own. It had never even occurred to me before that I might have a soul.

I kissed her instead. Again and again I kissed her because I didn’t have any words for what I was feeling.

Once she got a grip on it, it was a death grip, and I would sooner go into her purse looking for Tic Tacs than try to get it away from her.

Forgiveness is the frangrance of the violet which still clings fast to the heel that crushed it.

I knew I would do anything and everything for her, no questions asked. I couldn’t really frame in my own head why that was, only that the moment I woke up in the Arizona cabin lying with her on that tiny bed, I had been hers.
