-Kat- I pronounced my name as if it were a kind of prayer, and then kissed my skin behind my ear. I broke all the rules of my class for healing and stay with me. I got married with you and burned a whole city to keep you safe. I have killed for you. Do you think I was going to forget what you mean for me? That nothing in this world; in any world; Would it be stronger than my love for you?
