You have something else of mine, Miss Wakefield, ” he amended. “I believe you meant to borrow it and return it directly, but you never did return . . . my heart. It’s been in your possession since our first meeting.” She drew in a staggered breath, daring to hope.“ Though without a heart, one might wonder how I came to be here, standing before you right now, ” he went on, making her heard spin again. “Do you wonder, Miss Wakefield?”When she nodded, he grinned and placed her hand over his chest.“ There is a heart in here, but it is not mine. You see, I believe you made a dire mistake our first meeting. When you meant to return mine, instead you gave me yours. Doesn’t it beat strangely beneath my breast? . Vivienne Lorret
About This Quote

The first sentence of this quote is a bit confusing. I don't know what the author is trying to say. This story is about how the main character has stolen another man's heart and he has been able to replace it with his own. The second sentence makes it clear that the heart is beating under the man's breast. The rest of the story tells us why this is happening and how one man is able to replace another man's heart and still be loved by the other man.
