Tell me what this word means.” “It’s not about the word itself. It’s about the feeling in here.” She moved one of her hands to his chest. “It means that living without you feels wrong. That to be parted from your side makes me miss you more than I miss breathing fresh air. And that I will always think of you, no matter how far I am from you.” “This feels right,” he said. His hand scooped underneath her hair and drew her close to him, breathing in the scent of her. “Know as you dive into danger that I love you, my kalon. I will hold you in my heart until you return to my side.”
