Diana Gabaldon Quote

How long is some time? Fifteen years, you said? Oh, a good deal longer than that. Isobel— He stopped abruptly, the smile vanishing. He hadn’t mentioned his dead wife before. You never saw her naked? I asked, with more than idle curiosity. He turned his face away a little, eyes cast down. Ah … no. It wasn’t … She did not … No. He cleared his throat, then raised his eyes, looking into mine with an honesty raw enough to make me want to look away. I am naked to you, he said simply, and drew back the sheet.
