Barbara Kingsolver Quote
You knew me well enough to find me here,' she said.And his scent burst onto her brain like a rain of lights, and his voice reached across the distance without words: 'I've always known you that well.'He wrapped her in his softness, touched her face with the movement of trees and the odor of wild water over stones, dissolving her need in the confidence of his embrace.
