Touched (Touched, #1)

by Elisa S. Amore

Shyness is a lasso that binds the wings each of us has. Only if you untie it can you fly.

Rise up and gather the brightest stars

I’d found out for myself why people say love is blind, because no matter how much my instinct insisted, my heart remained untarnished by doubt.

Na

svargo narakam vina.” Without hell, there is no heaven.

Could love strike so suddenly, like a train barreling down the tracks, unable to stop? Could an emotion be so devastating that it burns like lava, clouding your thoughts, leaving you utterly unable to choose? Like a stealthy, greedy thief who steals your heart and every part of you while you stand there and watch it happen, a helpless spectator, with no way out?

My apprehension cleared away like mist as I realized I loved her. I loved this sweet creature. And I would love her forever.

How could I feel complete if half of me had been torn away? Because that’s what Gemma was to me: my other half, my Eve. Without her, part of me would die forever.

Two lives would be cut short: that of a human and that of an Angel who was desperately in love with her.

“Gemma, I can’t regret the destiny in store for me. Can anyone blame the spark that lights a candle, even though it means condemning it to slowly burn up? For a little while, the candle sees the light. In the same way, I’ve been blessed to have had you in my life.”

“Not even time will separate us. If I have to defy the entire universe, I’ll find a solution to that too.”
