QUOTE : Thank you,” he said. Luce felt her lips quiver and her eyes burn.<br />Before she knew what she was doing, she fell into Cam’s<br />arms, felt his hands wrap around her back.<br />When his chin rested on the top of her head, she began to weep. He let her cry. Held her close. He whispered,<br />“You’re so brave.” Then Cam’s arms shifted and his chest pulled lightly away. For a second, she felt cold and exposed, but then another chest, another pair of arms replaced Cam’s. And she knew without opening her eyes<br />that it was Daniel. No other body in the universe fit hers so well.<br />“Mind if I cut in?” he asked softly.<br />“Daniel—” She clenched her fists and squeezed her arms around him, wanting to squeeze away the pain.<br />“Shhh.” He held her like that for what might have been hours, rocking her slightly, cradling her in his wings until her tears had tapered off and the<br />weight in her heart had eased enough that she could breathe without sniffling.
