And this just warmed my heart oodles and oodles:
“Not since you.” She spoke after a beat of silence, opening her eyes and reached to stroke her hands against his face. “Why would I? Ever? No one else would be able to know me like you do, touch me like you do.” Her hands brushed against his temples and she felt his mind brush against hers, like a cat curling around her ankles. “It would feel emptier.” Her hands slid down to rest over his hearts, still beating like mad against his chest and she smiled. “Their hearts wouldn’t match mine.” She swallowed and licked her lips before biting down on them, her eyes meeting his and asking the one question she’d never been brave enough to ask when she was young and foolish. “Would you?”
“Would I what?” His response was barely a whisper and she felt the steady beat of his hearts against her palms.
“We’re up and down, side-to-side and back to front. Hardly a conventional marriage; and you’re alone for very long periods of time. And your companions-”
“No. River. No.” He shook his head emphatically and pulled her down until his forehead rested against hers, “never.”
