“I wish you could have made me loving you.”
“I wish I were whole. I wish I could have given you youngs, if you'd wanted them and I could conceive them. I wish I could have told you it killed me when you thought I had been with anyone else. I wish I had spent the last year waking up every night and telling you I loved you. I wish I had mated you properly the evening you came back to me from the dead.”
“Dad," I said hesitantly, "I wish you could be there for me even when I'm doing the wrong thing. I wish you could love me even when I'm screwing up.”
“Tell me you love me, Caleb," I whispered.He kissed me, refusing. "I wish I could, Kitten”
“How I wish you could have known me in my strength.”
“You love with a fierce courage that I do not understand, and yet I wish that I could have it too.”
