The Deadlands Quotes

“Karl leaned forward, pressing a tired but tender kiss to Nessa’s trembling lips. They were chilled by the cold and damp with sweat. Far from disgust him, this evidence that she was still alive in his arms compelled him to deepen the kiss. They pulled away at the same time. Those three special words stuck in the back of his throat. Instead, it was Nessa who spoke. Her tone was filled with wonder. “I thought I lost you.”

Karl huffed a laugh. Almost of its own volition, his hand shifted from her cheek to some loose strands of hair. Carefully, delicately, he tucked them behind her ear. “Only for a minute.”

Nessa shook her head. “Longest damn minute of my life.”

Karl grinned even as he felt himself shuddering in delight.”
