I winced again.

"But you would not have it so." He squeezed my arms, put one of his arms around my back. "It is no secret. You have experienced the heaven and hell of love."

"But, see, the hell came last, so that's still the memory, the feeling, that lingers. For a long time I tried to come up with some way to explain how I felt because Evie kept pushing me to put it into words. She thought, somehow, that would make it all better. But I couldn't tell her I felt like I should be bleeding from every pore. I couldn't tell her I felt like I'd been flayed alive, that when I looked in the mirror every morning I couldn't believe my hair hadn't turned white overnight. It just wasn't close enough to the truth. So I didn't say anything at all."

"I understand." He whispered it into my hair. And I believed him.

"There's only so much a person can go through, Vayl."

He pulled me closer. "There is only so much a person can go through alone. But I am not asking you to do anything you cannot bear. I have eternity, Jasmine. I can wait until your feelings are no longer fractured."

"It may be awhile. My feelings for you… it's hard to be okay with them when my love for Matt is still fresh in my memory, still strong in my heart."

If my statement had hurt him, he didn't show it. He said, "My father used to say that true love never dies. It simply makes your heart big enough to hold even more love."

"So… I can keep the ring?"

"Yes."
