Evangeline-and-sebastian Quote by Lisa Kleypas
““I don't think I could live without you now." Sebastian's large hand passed gently over the back of her head, pulling her to his shoulder, and he buried his face in her hair for a moment. "Ah, Evie," she heard him say softly, "I must have a heart, after all... because right now it aches like the devil." "Only your heart?" she asked ingenuously, making him laugh. He lowered her to the bed, his eyes sparkling wickedly. "Also a few other things," he conceded. "And as my wife, it's your duty to ease all my aches.””
