Then he was there, turned half toward her with a guarded expression etched across his face. She didn't stop or even slow her step. When she reached him, she grabbed the front of his shirt in both fists, pulling him to her, pushing her mouth up into his. Heat swirled through her as she pulled his face even closer, tighter. His arms wound around her and their bodies melded with a rightness she didn't bother to question. Her lips filled with the sweetness of his mouth and Tamani held her against him as if he could somehow pull her inside him, make her part of him. And for a moment, she did feel like a part of him. As if their kiss bridged the gap between the two worlds, even if only for that one brief, sparkling moment. A sigh that held the weight of years shuddered out of Tamani as their faces drew apart. "Thank you, " Tamani whispered, almost too quiet to be heard. .Aprilynne Pike
About This Quote
When you gaze at the stars at night, you see the same stars you saw when you were a kid. The big dipper, the moon and the sun, Orion's belt, and so on. Those are constellations that always look familiar. Then there are constellations that look like something new.
That's what happens when you're young and things are fresh in your mind. We're all kinda like that. We don't know everything but we know enough to make sense of it all.
