There, there, sweetin, he murmured into her hair.He loved me, he truly did, she gasped.I know he did, Michael said.And I loved him.Mm-hmm.She raised her head, glaring angrily. You dont even believe in love. Why are you agreeing with me?He laughed.Becausehe leaned down and licked at the tears on her cheeks, his lips brushing softly against her sensitive skin as he spoke, yeve bewitched and bespelled me, my sweet Silence, didnt ye know? Ill agree that the sky is pink, that the moon is made o marzipan and sugared raisins, and that mermaids swim the muddy waters o the Thames, if yell only stop weepin. Me chest breaks apart and gapes wide open when I see tears in yer pretty eyes. Me lungs, me liver, and me heart cannot stand to be thus exposed.She stopped breathing. She simply inhaled and stopped, looking at him in wonder. His lips were quirked in a mocking smile, but his eyeshis fathomless black eyesseemed to hold a great pain as if his strong chest really had been split open.
