“I do not match myself to the frixing furs! My skin shows that you are my Alara. You were chosen by the goddess for me because your soul matches my soul. You belong to me. Can’t you feel it, the connection between us? I don’t know another way to explain it, but you have to believe me that it’s true. We are destined to be together forever.”

“But I know that nothing will keep us apart. Not now or ever. No matter how much time I spend with you, I want more.”
