I love you Tory. I know I say it a lot, but...I know baby. I feel the same way about you.

Funny thign is, I always thought my house was full and that there was nothing missing in my life. I had a job I loved. Family who loved me. Good friends to keep me sane. Everything a human could want. And t hen I met an infuriating, impossible man who added the one thing I didn't know wasn't there.Dirty socks on the floor?She laughed. No, the other part of my heart.

Mostly because he knew firsthand that if love went untended it turned into profound hatred. --Tory and Acheron
