QUOTE : You still haven't told me what you're up to,’ she said at last. <br />‘One more minute,’ Tamani said, smiling against her lips. <br />‘We don't need minutes,’ Laurel said. ‘We have forever.’ <br />Tamani pulled back to look at her, his eyes shining with wonder. ‘Forever,’ he whispered <br />before pulling her into another kiss. <br />‘So does this make us entwined?’ Laurel asked, a sharp twinge of grief piercing her<br /> happiness as she repeated the word Katya had used, so long ago, to describe committed faerie couples. <br />‘I believe it does,’ Tamani said, beaming. He leaned closer, his nose touching hers. ‘A sentry and a mixer? We shall be quite the scandal.’<br />Laurel smiled. ‘I love a good scandal.’<br />‘I love you,’ Tamani whispered. <br />‘I love you, too,’ Laurel replied, relishing the words as she said them. And with them, the <br />world was new and bright-- there was hope. There were dreams. <br />But most of all, there was Tamani.’ “<br /><br />Aprilynne Pike<br />Destined pgs. 284-292.
