J.D. Robb Quote

I had that hole in me, that empty space. I could have lived my life with it, content enough. I wasn’t an unhappy man......................The tears came now. He watched them drip down her cheeks, wondered if she were even aware they leaked out of her. She was part of my life. You are my life. If I have a regret, it’s that even for an instant you could think otherwise. Or that I allowed you to.-Roarke
