“Darling, do you rememberthe man you married? Touch me, remind me who I am.”
“Damn it, Lettie. Marry me. For pity's sake, marry me and put me out of my misery.”
“Marry me," he said. "Marry me, Tess. Marry me and be Tessa Herondale. Or be Tessa Gray, or be whatever you wish to call yourself, but marry me and stay with me and never leave me, for I cannot bear another day of my life to go by that does not have you in it.”
