“I wanted to rip him apart limb by limb with my teeth and fingers turned into claws. I wanted to hold his lion’s heart in my hands too tightly and feel it beat and throb for me, against me. I wanted to disassemble him, piece by bloody piece, to satisfy my burning passion, my crushing rage at the changes he’d wrought on my life and me.

But then…I wanted to sit crossed-legged in the middle of the mess, smooth my claws turned fingers over the jagged edges of him and put him back together again. I wanted to trace the outline of each of his limbs, knot together his muscles and slot his bones into their joints. I wanted to sew myself into every atom of his DNA and live there forever, intrinsically tied to him so that if any force tried to tear me away like I knew they would, they’d have to kill him to separate us.

It was a gruesome way to love someone, but it was the way I felt about Lionel Danner and I knew that would never change.”

“I was a storm of calamity, cast adrift on a sea of black doings and loosely drawn rebel rules. He was an old growth oak with roots sunk deep into rich earth, limbs stretching wide across the sky, standing sentry across centuries as the world toiled away beneath its leaves. I could whip around that kind of man, cause hurricanes with my spirit, quake the earth with my tempers, but none of it mattered. He would remain untouched no matter what I did, no matter what anyone did.

He was just so simply and profoundly good.”

“Like Real People Do” by Hozier as he worked and then he said, “Love you, Harleigh Rose, love you in a way that I know I’ll never stop doin’ it, just like I haven’t stopped doin’ it in one way or another since I met you. Some men want women that are all sugar and sweetness, dependable and staid, but I’ve always preferred the kind of woman that’s roses and thorns, strength and sass, that’s so wild at heart I never know what I’m going to get. You make me feel alive, Harleigh Rose, filled with a love and purpose so strong it eclipses any other reason I may have to love living.”
