Epic Quote put here for posterity
She put a palm against his cheek, "I'm not longer afraid, Usul. Look at me. I see what you see when you hold me thus."
"What do you see?" he demanded.
"I see us giving love to each other in a time of quiet between storms. It's what we were meant to do."
The drug had him again and he thought: So many times you've given me comfort and forgetfulness. He felt anew the hyperillumination with its high relief imagery of time, sensed his future becoming memories - the tender indignities of physical love, the sharing and communion of selves, the softness and the violence.
"You're the strong one, Chani," he muttered. "Stay with me."
"Always," she said, and kissed his cheek.
