" I only wanted to know you, Wen. I’ve wanted to know you for so long. Ever since your father talked about you, I’ve been living on that wish, that one day you would come to me, and you would see me for what I am, and still you would not leave.” “I’m here now.” “Only part of you. Part of you is outside the door, watching over the Noor. Wanting him.” I cannot lie to him. “That’s true. But part of him is elsewhere too, with the other people he loves. We cannot own each other, Bo. We can only offer what is ours to give. "
