#outlander 1.11

At first, we were so happy only to be with each other and away from Leoch than we didn’t talk much. Across the flat of the moor, Donas could carry us both without strain, and I rode with my arms about Jamie’s waist, glorying in the feel of the sun-warmed muscle shifting under my cheek. Whatever problems we might be facing—and I knew there were plenty—we were together. Forever. And that was enough.

The Devil’s Mark 1.11

Favorite Jamie and Claire Moment:

I do know this:  even now, after all the pain and death and heartbreak that followed,

I still would make the same choice.

He woke me sometime in the darkness and made love to me, slowly and tenderly, not speaking.

I watched stars winking through the lattice of black branches overhead, and fell asleep again with his comforting weight still warm on top of me.

“I prayed all the way up that hill yesterday,” he said softly. “Not for you to stay; I didna think that would be right. I prayed I’d be strong enough to send ye away.” He shook his head, still gazing up the hill, a faraway look in his eyes.

“I said ‘Lord, if I’ve never had courage in my life before, let me have it now. Let me be brave enough not to fall on my knees and beg her to stay.’ ” He pulled his eyes away from the cottage and smiled briefly at me.

“Hardest thing I ever did, Sassenach.”

I swore an oath before the altar of God to protect this woman!  And if you’re telling me you consider your authority to be greater than that of the Almighty, then I must inform you that I am not of that opinion myself.
