Grounded (Up in the Air, #3)

by R.K. Lilley

“We met in the gutter,” I continued, “but even there, you shone like a light in the dark for me. You were the only good thing in my life, but you were so good that I knew it had all evened out. All of the bad was balanced because I got you out of it. Even jaded and abused and dead inside, I saw that clearly.

I fell in love with your eyes first because I looked into their depths and saw the other half of my soul.”

I’m trying to join your family, not tear it apart, Love.”

“Now you will feel no rain, For each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, For each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no more loneliness for you.”

“For each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two bodies, But there is only one life before you.”
