I remembered my father's speech about what Jack was capable of and wasn't; he'd said, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW MUCH JACK LOVES YOU. I thought about all the girls he'd stopped loving; it was like he had a timer, and at a certain point it buzzed. ↗

His arms went around my waist. "I been meanin' to tell you, Zach-I want a raid. And that's not a sexual innuendo." "I'll see what I can do." His lips brushed min, and he smiled. "I lied." "You don't want a raise?" "It was a sexual innuendo." "I think I love you." The words were out of m mouth before I knew I was going to say them. I wanted to take them back immidiately. If talking about moving in together sent him into a full blown panic attack, there was no telling what the L-word was going to do to him. He froze, just for a second, and I braced for the worst, but he just smiled and simply said, "I know. ↗

In loving him, I saw a cigarette between the fingers of a hand, smoke blowing backwards into the room and sputtering planes diving low through the clouds. In loving him, I saw men encouraging each other to lay down their arms. In loving him, I saw small-town laborers creating excavations that other men spend their lives trying to fill. In loving him, I saw moving films of stone buildings; I saw a hand in prison dragging snow in from the sill. In loving him, I saw great houses being erected that would soon slide into the waiting and stirring seas. I saw him freeing me from the silences of the interior life. ↗

She had seen them in turmoil all round her--love, hatred, vengeance, treachery--she herself practically the pivot around which they raged. Out of the deadly strife she had emerged pure, happy in the arms of the man whom her wondrous adventures as much as his brilliant personality had taught her to love. ↗

Ale to, co naprawdę mnie przyciągnęło. to cecha, która pociąga większość dziewczyn - był emocjonalnie martwy. A ja wierzyłam, że mogę go naprawić. Myślałam, że potrafię się przebić przez twardą fasadę i odnaleźć prawdziwego Jacka, wrażliwego mężczyznę, ukrywającego się pod tymi wszystkimi tatuażami.Właśnie dlatego, że nigdy nie pokazał po sobie krztyny wrażliwości czy emocji, wierzyłam, że jest najbardziej czułym i wrażliwym człowiekiem na ziemi. Wierzyłam, że ja - i tylko ja - jestem w stanie skruszyć jego pancerz i zamienić go w niegrzecznego ukochanego, o jakim zawsze śniłam. Jakże niedorzeczne! Teraz wiem, że jeżeli umawiasz się z kimś, by go ulepszyć, nie jesteś wcale w związku miłosnym. Jesteś po prostu pielęgniarką. Prosta prawda, a jednocześnie najtrudniejsza lekcja, której doświadcza kobieta - dostajesz to, co widzisz. ↗
