A moment of peace. Blissful, beautiful peace. In a room lit by a flickering candle we sat together on a mattress. My back was pressed against the wall, him lying between my legs, his head nuzzled against my neck as I held the kindle in one hand, the other running gently through his hair as I read aloud. "'This is nothing,' cried she: 'I was only going to say that heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out into the middle of the heath on the top of Wuthering Heights; where I woke sobbing for joy. That will do to explain my secret, as well as the other. I've no more business to marry Edgar Linton than I have to be in heaven; and if the wicked man in there had not brought Heathcliff so low, I shouldn't have thought of it. It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff now; so he shall never know how I love him: and that, not because he's handsome, Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same-'" "Is that true?" he asked, sitting up so he could see my face. I paused. Blue meets blue and I tilted my head, a small smile on my lips as I put the book down. "He's always, always in my mind," I whispered, cupping his face with my other hand. "Not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being." Faces close together, I pressed my nose against his and breathed. "Whatever our souls are made of, yours and mine are the same." And we sealed that truth with a kiss.
