“Marsala isn’t the one that’s going to keep you and Chansey apart. It’s you.”

“And that’s why I can’t go out with you. I’m not going to become a number you can’t identify. It’s not what I’m looking for.”

“I’ll be waiting for you right here, inside my heart, always.” - Chansey from Blood of Anteros”

“I love you, Chansey Rose Leclaire and it is a terrible tragedy that you will never know how much because I could never be the same after loving you.” - Curry from Blood of Anteros”

“Chansey Leclaire is a Daughter of Anteros, which makes her your agápe. She is your gift....and your curse.”- Sebastian from Blood of Anteros”

“Don’t leave. I want you to be with me.”“You’ll have your family.”I swallow before I say the words that will change this relationship forever. “You’re the one I need.”“But that would mean meeting your family.”It does, and I’m okay with that if it means she’s by my side. “I don’t care. I need you to be with me.”She smiles and cradles my face with her hands. “Of course. I’ll come if it’s what you want, but this is going to change everything.”“I know, but it’s what I want.”

“That’s who I am to you from now on. No more Lachlan. No more pretending”
