Kirsty Logan Quotes

“When people are cruel it's often said that they have no heart, only a cold space or lump of ice in their chest. This was never true of Avalon.

But those memoires and thoughts faded away until there was nothing but the sensation of his lips on hers, the exchange of breath and the soft harmony of hearts beating. For one blissful moment they were nothing but feelings and physical sensation. The moment lasted a very long time.”
