In "The Calling" by Kelley Armstrong, a deeply emotional moment unfolds between two characters. One character bends down to kiss the other, expressing an intense desire that evokes tears. The kiss is filled with longing, highlighting their strong connection and the depth of their feelings for each other.

As a tear falls, the man tenderly wipes it away and asks the character to stop crying, acknowledging the shared emotional weight of the moment. Their understanding is mutual, as he whispers that he feels the same longing, reinforcing the bond they share and the weight of their unspoken feelings.
