"I wasn't even that lovable to begin with. I was a selfish ass, but somehow something I did made this man love me, deeply and without reservations. He knew things about me that I would die to keep secret. I trusted him more than I trusted anyone in my life. I mattered to him. He was suffering and I wanted it to stop. I wanted to see him happy. I loved him so much."

This time it didn't bother me."Adam, I told him, "I'd walk barefoot over hot coals for you."

"She doesn't need the pack. She doesn't need me.I shot to my feet. "That's not true, I said hotly.He tilted his head a little, his eyes meeting mine. His eyes softened. "I misspoke, he said in a steady voice. "She doesn't need me to make sure she has enough food or a place to live-that is my privilege, but she doesn't need me to do that.

"There is no mystical force repelling us.""Then why?""We're forbidden to kill a creature in a moment of prayer or invocation of their deity.
