“If I wasn’t before, I am now. I didn’t believe it was possible to love you more than I already did…but I do.”

“I loved him, and no matter what my reasons were to live without him, I knew it wasn’t what I wanted.”

“I knew from the start that I loved her and knew, as well, that I would never fall back from that love, never try, never want to.”

“It’s a known fact that in life, you can’t have everything. In my heart I knew I loved them both, as much as possible to love two people at the same time. Conrad and I were linked, we would always be linked. That wasn’t something I could do away with. I knew that now—that love wasn’t something you could erase, no matter how hard you tried.”

“How did you—”“Fool your guards? They’re not very good. They forgot to check the ceiling for spiders.” Valek grinned. His angular face softened. Startled, I realized he wasn’t in disguise. “This is dangerous.”“I knew falling for you was dangerous, love.”
