ace to him,
and he bent forw
ard
and kissed her on the mouth, gently, with the one kiss th
at is
an etern
al pledge.
and
as he kissed her his he
art str
ained
ag
ain in his bre
ast. He never intended to love her. But now it w
as over. He h
ad crossed over the gulf to her,
and
all th
at he h
ad left behind h
ad shrivelled
and become void.;)))
