I wouldn't have crossed the ocean, come out of hiding and tracked you down ifyou didn't matter to me.""Then come up with a better lie. Tell me you love me.""You don't need lies, Chloe,I do love you." he said. "
9 " And what if you don't come?" "I will. No matter what happens." "I’ll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way,'" she murmured. "
10 " If this were a different time, a different place, I would take you to bed with me and make love to you for days," he said, his voice slow and deep and intent.
