"For a moment, my heart aches for him. I should never have asked him to join me here; I should never have asked him to cross."

Previous Quote

my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and waiting for it to pass. And it would pass -- but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.
