Again The Magic (Wallflowers 0.5)

“The worst thing you can do for love is deny it; so when you find that special someone, don't let anyone or anything to get in your way.”
~ Author Unknown

“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”
~ Author Unknown

“It was likely that no one had been surprised, however, as it was clear that Aline and Mckenna belonged together. There was something invisible and yet irrefutable that made them a couple. Perhaps it was the way both of them stole quick glances at each other when one thought the other wasn't looking... glances of wonder and hunger.”

“I want morning and noon and nightfall with you. I want your tears, your smiles, your kisses...the smell of your hair, the taste of your skin, the touch of your breath on my face. I want to see you in the final hour of my life...to lie in your arms as I take my last breath.”

I've done a terribly horrendous mistake. And believe me, "terribly horrendous" is an understatement.

I woke up at 3 AM in the morning. I was quite restless but sleep somehow evaded me.

But dang! I made a mistake of reading the book in the wee hours of the morning.

I just wanted to read just a few pages. Just to get a head start. Maybe sleep would come easy. But what a mistake. I ended up reading more. And more. And a little more. I had trouble to actually get up at 6AM and go to work and leave precious McKenna. Oh my. I do have to mention that tears were endlessly streaming through my eyes.

I'm already halfway, but me rating it (5 stars) already, just means that I love the book sooo much.

Hope it ends just as well. :)


P.S. Books, which is a pageturner, like this must come with a warnings!

“I don’t know that one could call it pining,” Aline said, stroking the windowpane with her fingertips. “McKenna will always be a part of me, no matter where he goes. They say that people who’ve lost a limb sometimes feel as if they still have it. How many times I’ve felt that McKenna was still here, and the empty space beside me was alive with his presence."

It would be impossible to make Shaw—or anyone else—understand. The dark reality was that he and Aline had never been separate—they could live on opposite sides of the earth, and they would still be caught together in a hellish tangle. Not have her? He had never stopped having her…she had been a perpetual torment to him.

He owned her, by virtue of his need and the bitter washed memories of their past together.

No miles of level desert, no jagged mountain heights,
no sea of endless blue
Neither words nor tears, nor silent fears
will keep me from coming back to you.

Gideon was instantly captivated. A hundred questions crowded his mind. He wanted to know who she was, why she was here, if she liked sugar in her tea, had she climbed trees as a girl, and what her first kiss had been like…

“Meeting her was like taking a deep breath for the first time in years.”

He very much feared that he was falling in love with Livia Marsden. He wanted her, adored her, craved her, every waking moment.

Right at that moment, staring at her across the entrance hall, Gideon Shaw, cynic, hedonist, drunkard, libertine, fell hopelessly in love. He had never been so completely in the thrall of another human being. So enchanted, and foolishly hopeful.
