“His smile is like the sun rising huge and bright over the Siera Sangre.”
“He grinned lightly at me and I smiled back. Lord I loved this man. His smile was as bright as the sun.”
“However bright a torch might burn it could never match the rising sun.”
“I believe in that line from An Imperial Affliction. 'The risen sun too bright in her losing eyes.' That's God, I think, the rising sun, and the light is too bright and her eyes are losing but they aren't lost.”
“Ico took the girls hand in his own, the gesture feeling intensely familiar, as the sun shone brightly over the end of their long story.”
“I've loved you forever," I tell him.The sun rises, rests, shines in his face and he almost smiles, almost can't meet my eyes.”
