The Coming is no more. Watch for a new story, soon.

"But I love you!" She sighed. "You are less experienced than I am, Hope. You mistake rapture for love. Your emotion is shaken by tragedy. It is right for me to ease your confusion in my fashion, but not to ask too high a price. When you are able to put it in perspective, you will know that love is not made in a single night." "Helse brought me to her, reeling me in hand over hand, put her helmet against mine, and made a kissing expression. Then she hugged me clumsily in the suits, spanked me, and sent me back to finish my job." "She was right, but I could not say it. The thought of some foul pirate embracing her, treating her as the Horse had treated my sister, Faith, filled me with blinding horror. "I love you!" I repeated, as if it had any logic. "I know you do Hope. And I love you. There need be no pretense between us anymore. I know you are the one man who would never hurt me." Her words filled me with a blaze of emotion that I felt physically in my chest, radiating through my body. I know biologists say the heart is not the true font of love, that it is all in the mind; sometimes I think biologists doubt that love exists at all. But what I felt was in my breast and brain. I leaned over and kissed her, fire seemed to play about our touching lips."
