@@@@@I can give her herself back ?You deserve a 129
@@@@@I can give her herself back
?You deserve a life, too, Wanda
?But Ilove her, Ian
He closed his eyes, and his pale lips went dead white
?But I loveyou, ? he whispered?Doesn't that matter??
?Of course it mattersCan't you see? That only makes it more? necessary
His eyes flashed open?Is it so unbearable to have me love you? Is that it? I can keep my mouth
shut, WandaI won't say it againYou can be with Jared, if that's what you want
?No, Ian!? I took his face between my hands?his skin felt hard, strained tight over the bonesMe, the little silver worm in the back of her headBut my body doesn't
love youI can never love you in this body, Ian
I could have borne itBut watchinghim suffer because of my body's limitations? Not that
He closed his eyes againHis thick black lashes were wet with tearsI could see them glisten
Oh, go ahead,Mel sighedo whatever you need toI'll? step into the other room, she added
dryly
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him until my lips touched his
He curled his arms around me, pulling me tighter against his chest
