A lang, lang time agoโฆโ MacPhee began, ignoring St.Vincentโs low groan, โthere was a bonnie maid called Malvina. She was the betrothed of Oscar, the braw warrior who won her heart. Oscar bade his beloved tae wait for him while he went tae seek his fortune. But one black day Malvina received word that her lover had been killed in battle. He would lie forever in eternal rest in the faraway hillsโฆlost in endless slumberโฆโ โGod, I envy him,โ St. Vincent said feelingly, rubbing his own dark-circled eyes.
Lisa KleypasWe assured Phelan that we were more than happy to let him have you and your menagerie,โ Leo retorted. โAfter that, he said he needed to think.โ โAbout what?โ Beatrix demanded. โWhat is there to think about?

Lisa KleypasOver the years Iโve collected a thousand memories of you, every glimpse, every word youโve ever said to me. All those visits to your familyโs home, those dinners and holidaysโI could hardly wait to walk through the front door and see you.โ The corners of his mouth quirked with reminiscent amusement. โYou, in the middle of that brash, bull-headed lotโฆI love watching you deal with your family. Youโve always been everything I thought a woman should be. And I have wanted you every second of my life since we first met.
Lisa KleypasI love you, he thought, looking at Win. I love every part of you, every thought and word...the entire complex, fascinating bundle of all the things you are. I want you with ten different kinds of need at once. I love all the seasons of you, the way you are now, the thought of how much more beautiful you'll be in the decades to come. I love you for being the answer to every question my heart could ask.
