Diana Gabaldon Quote
I wish I could have fought him for you, he said abruptly, looking back at me. His blue eyes were dark and earnest.I smiled at him, touched.It wasn't your fight, it was mine. But you won it anyway. I reached out a hand, and he squeezed it.Aye, but that's not what I meant. If I'd fought him man to man and won, ye'd not need to feel any regret over it. He hesitated. If ever—There aren't any more ifs, I said firmly. I thought of every one of them yesterday, and here I still am.Thank God, he said, smiling, and God help you. Then he added, Though I'll never understand why.I put my arms around his waist and held on as the horse slithered down the last steep slope.Because, I said, I bloody well can't do without you, Jamie Fraser, and that's all about it.
