[She loves this boy. God, she loves this boy so much, this unexpected boy from a world away and a century ahead of her time who stumbled into her life and flushed red when she touched a hand to his face, who defends her and listens to her and tried to save her from a death she'd earned but never deserved — who, of all the gifts she's ever been given, offered her the very most precious of all: the freedom to grow and the automatic support of whatever directions she might choose, and the outstretched hand to help her to her feet and open doors that she'd always otherwise found closed.
She couldn't possibly love him more than she does, not more deeply and not more fiercely.
For all that she doesn't want to be here, there's a small part of her that accepts she'd rather be here than anywhere else, if this is where Dave is going to have to be.]
I'm very sweet, you know. And I'd be more than happy to prove that again...if you should like to kiss me and remind yourself, that is.
