" For God's sake, Gwen," he said gently. " What matter that I love you. That's not the bit that's always been missing." Her lips parted. They wished to ask a question she could not bear to bring herself to ask. He was never less than honest. The answer, than, was bound to be wrong." So she did not ask it as a question. " You won't leave me," she said.He drew a long breath. " There," he said, quietly, fiercely. " That is the answer to this riddle. The promises I can make, and the one I can't. Gwen." His hands closed on her wrists, tightening until she swallowed and found her courage and looked up at him. " I will never leave you willingly. Life is a risk, and so love is, as well. But I swear to God, you will not regret the gamble. "
