" What kind of love do you want?" he asked gently.
"Once I might have said like Donald and Lady Pamela. But they're imaginary. I want you to adore me like Macrath adores Virginia. Like Logan adores Mairi. I want to make your life better for being in it."
He came to her, bent his head until his lips were against her temple. "You've changed me, Ellice. You've made me whole. I won't live my life without you."
He rested his forehead against hers.
" 'Life has no meaning without you in it. Without the glory of the dawn in the shine of your hair. Without the blue of the skies in your eyes.' "
"I wrote that," she said, pulling back. "I was a bit overblown there, wasn't I?"
He smiled down at her. "Not at all. Donald is a man in love. Men in love say things that sound a bit overblown to anyone else."
"Do they?"
He nodded again. "Things like your eyes are as soft as velvet sometimes. And sometimes as hard as stone. I can always gauge your mood by how your eyes sparkle or if they don't. If you're amused or sad or a dozen other emotions. The rest of your face can be perfectly still, but you can't hide your eyes. "
― Karen Ranney , The Virgin of Clan Sinclair (Clan Sinclair, #3)
