He will always be in my heart, but you will always come first. That's who we are. That's..." Her voice traile doff as tears spilled afresh from her eyes.<br /><br />He reached out to touch her cheek, to capture the drop of wetness and bring it to his lips. he taste it, surprised to find it not bitter.<br /><br />"It's sweet," he said, his eyebrows raised in surprise.<br /><br />"I do not shed bitter tears for love."<br /><br />"Apparently.

"I will look the same in the morning," she murmured. "Most of these women will look totally different." She laughed as she insinuated that they might be monsters.<br /><br />"Is the visual so important to the pleasure?" she asked.<br /><br />"For some men, yes. We're visually oriented creatures. And we know it 's a lie, even if we won't admit it. That's why most men don't stay the night."<br /><br />"Do you? Stay the night, I mean?"<br /><br />"Sometimes."
