I lifted her 激安 ルイヴィトン バッグ hand and softly kissed the fingers that had been broken on my account. "I do not confuse what was done to you with who you are," I offered. "When I look at you, I see Starling Birdsong the minstrel."
She nodded her face against me, and I knew it was as I surmised. She and I shared that fear. We would not live as victims.
I said no more than that, Nike Dunk SB Heels but only sat there. It came to me again that even if we found Verity, even if by some miracle his return would shift the tides of war and make us victors, for some the victory would come far too late. Mine had been a long and weary road, but I still dared to believe that at the end of it there might be a life of my own choosing. Starling had not even that. No matter how far inland she might flee, Jordan Heels she would never escape the war. I held her closer and felt her pain bleed over into me. After a time, her trembling stilled.
"It's full dark," I said at last. "We had best go back to the camp."
She sighed, but she straightened up. She took my hand. I started to lead her back to camp, but she tugged back on my hand. "Be with me," she said simply. "Just Nike Heels for here and just for now. With gentleness and friendship. To take the ... other away. Give me that much of yourself."
I wanted her. I wanted her with a desperation that had nothing to do with love, and even, I believe, little to do with lust. She was warm and alive and it would have been sweet and simple human comfort. If I could have been with her, and somehow arisen from it unchanged in how Nike High Heels I thought of myself and what I felt for Molly, I would have done so. But what I felt for Molly was not something that was only for when we were together. I had given Molly that claim to me; I could not rescind it simply because we were apart for a time. I did not think there were words that could make Starling understand that in choosing Molly I was not rejecting her. So instead I said, "Nighteyes comes. He has a Jordan heels rabbit."
Starling stepped close to me. She ran a hand up my chest to the side of my neck. Her fingers traced the line of my jaw and caressed my mouth. "Send him away," she said quietly.
"I could not send him far enough that he would not know everything of what we shared," I told her truthfully.
