I dont want Tiamat to go back, said Jeremy sullenly. I want her to stay here with me.Miss Priest laughed. It was not a horrible laugh at all. What a terrible idea! she said. Why do you want her to stay?Because I love her. I dont want to lose her.Miss Priest reached out and took his chin in her hand. She looked into his eyes. You silly boy, she said. Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, peoplethey always go away, sooner or later. You cant hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if theyve touched you, if theyre inside you, then theyre still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.
