Quotes by "Stephenie Meyer"
Eight full lives,β I whispered against his jaw, my voice breaking. βEight full lives and I never found anyone I would stay on a planet for, anyone I would follow when they left. I never found a partner. Why now? Why you? You're not of my species. How can you be my partner?β βIt's a strange universe,β he murmured. βIt's not fair,β I complained, echoing Sunny's words. It wasn't fair. How could I find this, find loveβnow, in this eleventh hourβand have to leave it? Was it fair that my soul and body couldn't reconcile? Was it fair that I had to love Melanie, too? Was it fair that Ian would suffer? He deserved happiness if anyone did. Itwasn't fair or right or evenβ¦sane. How could I do this to him? βI love you,β I whispered. βDon't say that like you're saying goodbye.β But I had to. βI, the soul called Wanderer, love you, human Ian. And that will never change, no matter what I might become.β I worded it carefully, so that there would be no lie in my voice. βIf I were a Dolphin or a Bear or a Flower, it wouldn't matter. I would always love you, always remember you. You will be my only partner.
