Gail Carson Levine Quote
He stopped and took my hand. If we die, or if I die...He was speaking of dying, and I couldn't stop smiling.In the dark he must not have noticed, because he said in a rush, I must tell you that I love you, and if I live I will ask for your hand, but you needn't say anything now if it distresses you, and I might rather die without knowing that you don't love me if that's how you feel.I tried to speak, but nothing came. I had gained courage during my adventures, but not for this.Addie?Too soft to hear, I whispered, I do love you.But he heard. He cupped his hand under my chin and tilted my face up so I had to meet his eyes. He was smiling too, with a smile as happy as mine. Oh, Addie! He leaned down to kiss me...
