Piper’s face held sympathy but no pity, which Galen appreciated. “Hard for a human to compete with a god.” The words struck him much harder than the doctor could realize. He had lashed out at Stephen once, to his disgrace. “Trying to replace what we’ve lost, are you? I didn’t think you’d try to find it between a woman’s thighs.” “It isn’t like that,” Stephen had said. “You cannot ask a woman to compete with a god. But we can still love someone and be loved. Even as broken as we are.”
Aww 🥺
One thing I love is that these books are about healing. Stephen and Grace, Istvan and Clara, Galen and Piper, they all find connection and healing in one another. And that’s what makes the romances beautiful.
