Of course Iâll hurt you. Of course youâll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

It’s hard to blink tears back when I see the terror in Tobias’s wide, dark eyes.”No,” says Tobias. His voice trembles, but his look stern as he shakes his head. “I would rather die.””I’m afraid you don’t have much of a choice in that matter,” replies Jeanine lightly.Tobias takes my face in this hands roughly and kisses me, the pressure of his lips pushing mine apart.
