Laurell K. Hamilton Quote

Auggie said you were too sentimental for your own good sometimes.Out loud he said, Perhaps, but you have taught me that sentiment is not always a bad thing.I stared up at that impossibly beautiful face, and felt love swell up inside me like a physical force. It filled my body, swelling upward until it made my chest ache, my throat tighten, and my eyes burn. It sounded so stupid. But I loved him. Loved all of him, but loved him more because loving me had made him better. That he would say that I had taught him about being sentimental made me want to cry. Richard reminded me at every turn that I was bloodthirsty and cold. If that were true, then I couldn't have taught Jean-Claude about sentimentality. You can't learn, if you don't have it to teach.He kissed me. He kissed me softly, with one hand lost in the hair to the side of my face. He drew back and whispered, I never thought to see that look upon your face, not for me.I love you, I said, and touched his hand where it lay against my face.
