Heart and soul Quote by Diana Gabaldon
““But how shall I tell you all these things," he said, the line of his mouth twisting. "And then say to you -- it is only you I have ever loved? How should you believe me?" The question hung in the air between us, shimmering like the reflection from the water below. "If you say it,” I said, “I’ll believe you.” … "Only you,” he said, so softly I could barely hear him. “To worship ye with my body, give ye all the service of my hands. To give ye my name, and all my heart and soul with it. Only you. Because ye will not let me lie—and yet ye love me.” I did touch him then. "Jamie,” I said softly, and laid my hand on his arm. “You aren’t alone anymore.””
