sound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering consciousness when he'd saved me from James。。。
his face as he waited under a canopy of flowers to marry me。。。 every precious moment from the island。。。
his cold hands touching our baby through my skin。。。
And the sharp memories; perfectly recalled: his face when I'd opened my eyes to my new life; to the
endless dawn of immortality。。。 that first kiss。。。 that first night。。。
His lips; suddenly fierce against mine; broke my concentration。
With a gasp; I lost my grip on the struggling weight I was holding away from myself。 It snapped back
like stressed elastic; protecting my thoughts once again。
〃Oops; lost it!〃 I sighed。
〃I heard you;〃 he breathed。 〃How? How did you do that?〃

〃Zafrina's idea。 We practiced with it a few times。〃
He was dazed。 He blinked twice and shook his head。
〃Now you know;〃 I said lightly; and shrugged。 〃No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you。〃
〃You're almost right。〃 He smiled; his eyes still a little wider than usual。 〃I know of just one exception。〃
〃Liar。〃
He started to kiss me again; but then stopped abruptly。
〃Can you do it again?〃 he wondered。
I grimaced。 〃It's very difficult。〃
He waited; his expression eager。
〃I can't keep it up if I'm even the slightest bit distracted;〃 I warned him。
〃I'll be good;〃 he promised。
I pursed my lips; my eyes narrowing。 Then I smiled。
I pressed my hands to his face again; hefted the shield right out of my mind; and then started in where I'd
left off—with the crystalclear memory of the first night of my new life。。。 lingering on the details。
I laughed breathlessly when his urgent kiss interrupted my efforts again。
〃Damn it;〃 he growled; kissing hungrily down the edge of my jaw。
〃We have plenty of time to work on it;〃 I reminded him。
〃Forever and forever and forever;〃 he murmured。
〃That sounds exactly right to me。〃
And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever。
