After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period.

He smiled like she'd just given him the best gift he'd ever had. She settled against his good side, and they stared up at the star-laden sky. "I knew I'd find something on this journey," she said. "I wasn't sure what, but I knew it'd be something special. ↗
