I burned against her like an ember

“True love is something else entirely. It is when the rest of the world goes quiet. It is not eyes that meet, but souls that dance. Settle into each other. Make room for each other. Until there is nowhere else to hide.”

Ottaviano-Fabrizio Mossotti (1791-1863)

“He had danced with fair maidens before, but Odette was different. She was graceful and beautiful, but there was something in her eyes and in the things she said, an intelligence and a boldness that belied her quiet demeanor.”

“I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment we raced each other in that park. I’ve loved you at every dance, on every walk, every time we’ve been together, and every time we’ve been apart. You do not have to accept it, you do not have to embrace it, or even allow it. Knowing you, you probably will not. But you must know it, in your heart. You must feel it, because I do. I love you.”
