“To touch her, to have her, would be a gift from the universe—but the gods have never been all that generous with me. They prefer my abuse to my award. My torture to my treasure.
I’m not sure what my penance is for, but it’s always been rather obvious that I am paying one.
Not being able to have her, not being able to allow her to have me, will be the greatest punishment yet.”
