“He seemed to be waiting for a miracle to save him from the depths his life had reached and take him to a land of dreams.”
“He heard the voice that had called to him in dreams, had saved him from the sands and from following his brother into the river.”
“She crawled on top of him, naked and warm and soft, smelling like a miracle that had saved him from a lifetime of aloneness.”
“We have to save the world," I reminded him. He reached for me. "The world can wait. I can't.”
“But that wasn't enough for him anymore. He wanted more. He wanted substance and depth and love. He wanted Miracle. It was as simple as that.”
“She was his soulmate, as much a part of him as the very flesh and bone that made him. She was with him, in him, in everything he did. She was everything he wanted from his life, the very measure of his dreams.”
