Susan Wiggs Quote
You’re afraid, he said, the amazement of sudden revelation lighting his face. I never thought I’d find the one thing you fear. I’m not afraid, she said. You’ve never been kissed before, have you? She looked beyond him, her vision blurring as memories swept over her. Ah, she’d been kissed. Once. Alonso had kissed her once. He had held both her hands lightly, as if they were fragile crystal. She recalled his handsome face, dark and tender, the tumble of inky hair over his noble brow, the sculpted bow of his mouth. Their lips had met lightly, two butterflies colliding by accident and then winging away. Caitlin MacBride had lived for four years on that too-brief moment. I’ve been kissed before, she said crisply. One side of his mouth lifted in a half smile. We’ll see about that, love.
