The Binding

When I'm not with Kalis the things I missed about her are all physical. I know that now. I miss her smile, her eyes, her hair, her touch. She's tall and lithe and has a body that turns all the men's heads in Velesi. With Lily, even with her small stature, she towers over the rest of us, because of her heart and her love for Lucas and Julia.

I love him, I truly do. I feel it in my bones, in my soul, with all my heart. It's just like all those sentiments that I've read about in the past in those Hallmark cards.

...but how can I feel right about marrying a guy who's in love with someone else? It's not right, Tharin. The name 'My Love' should be for the one you truly love," I sigh heavily. The wind going out of me and I finish in almost a whisper, "and it shouldn't be thrown around like it's just another word, because it isn't.

Dreams are stages where lies and truths intertwine in and endless dance. It is in the waking world that you must decide what is real and what it not.

I don’t know how it happened, but the girl I wanted nothing to do with, I now want everything to do with. Where at first I couldn’t care less if she stumbled and fell, I now want to move mountains out of her way, to hand her the moon so she can walk where she wants and see where she is going.

You can love as many women as you feel that you need to, but you will only have one heart.
