“- I don't want you to love me.- Too late, mi chava.”
“We deserve each other, Luis … and I need you just as much as you need me. Hold me.”He steps closer, but hesitates. “If I do, mi chava, I can’t promise I’ll be able to let you go.”
“I don't want to hurt you," he said."Too late.”
“Too late came I to love you, O Beauty both so ancient and so new! Too late came I to love you - and behold you were with me all the time . . .”
“It's too late," she said."Don't say that." His voice was half a whisper. "I love you, Tessa. I love you.”
“Please tell me it's not too late to fix this. Tell me you still love me. I've never wanted anything as much as I want you. I'll risk everything that's important to me, just to hear you say you want me in your life.”
