“I lay there with you for hours, wishing I could just touch you. I couldn't even bring myself to brush the hair from your face,” he murmured studying his hands. “I want to love you, Penny, I just don’t know if I can. I might be able to manage an equivalency, or an approximation, but actual intimacy may never be in my grasp.”
He looked up and met her eyes; the look in his was so tortured she nearly had to look away. “This is me, Penny, this is all I am, and this is all I have to give, would it ever suffice?”
Oh honey with lines like that, how could you even think that you have to ask?? Of course!! *hug* Welcome back!
Gosh, I think of those exact same lines and I was thinking of them now because that's what comes to mind whenever this story is mentioned. That's the meat of it, really, what's so beautiful about Sheldon and Penny's relationship, because they drive each other to be more for each other. :D
"He has made his way out into the rest of humanity just to be with you..."
It's almost beauty and the beast if the beast was a 6'2 socially awkward nerd LOL!
When I heard those lines in my head it broke my heart because I think he was actually attempting to let her reject him because he was too...untidy emotionally. Oh well it can be discussed all day.
thanks for reading and for your encouragement! Bart
Wow, I'm mostly a lurker here myself, but I just wanted you to know that I think this is totally sweet and that I simply adore your story. Everytime I start reading it (or even just small parts of it), I end up reading the whole thing again, because the tale you crafted is just so good.
Thanks for sharing. Your story is one of the first Sheldon/Penny fics that I read, and as I mentioned above, there's one scene that has stayed with me. :D
