Heart of Stone
“She could think of worse ways to spend her life than in her lover's embrace. A year passed, and Halloween came again. The strength of their love returned them their freedom, and they spent every moment of it in one another's arms.
That night, the ice that had held them both frozen melted away, and she blinked her eyes open and gazed up at him. She found him staring down at her with an expression of sheer joy. It was the first time she'd seen Damaris truly happy, and she knew she had made the ri...ght choice.
A curse, he had called it, but she never felt cursed, no matter how many years passed. She felt blessed. The real curse would have been to live without him. And he told her, in bits and pieces throughout the years, snatches of conversations after their passion had cooled and before the dawn reasserted its claim, that he no longer felt as cursed as he once did. It wasn't so hard to endure...together.
And sometimes, when the wind sighed through the trees above them, she could almost hear his voice on the breeze, telling her he loved her.MoreLess
