How can you have such faith in me?” he asked hoarsely…
““How can you have such faith in me?” he asked hoarsely. “How can you believe in me when I’ve given you no reason?” “You’ve given me plenty of reasons, but there’s only one that matters. I love you, Oliver. I can’t help myself. That is my reason.” He began to shake, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. “I love you,” she repeated as she kissed his cheek. “I love you.” She kissed the other cheek, now damp, though she wasn’t sure whether from her tears or his. “I love you so much.” She brushed his lips with hers. He held her back to search her face. “God help you if that is a lie,” he said in an aching voice. “Because those words have sealed your fate. I’ll never let you go, now.””
