“you will never understand,” she said. “you say that you build, that you invent, but i know an inventor and you are nothing like him. he brings things to life; you just destroy.”
❝ She remembered when Will had died, her agony, the long nights alone, reaching across the bed every morning when she woke up, for years expecting to find him there, and only slowly growing accustomed to the fact that side of the bed would always be empty. ❞
“They say you cannot love two people equally at once,” she said. “And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will—you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for one of them diminished by my love of the other. You merged your souls when you were both children. I could not have loved Will so much if I had not loved you as well. And I could not love you as I do if I had not loved Will as I did.”
After a few months of inactivity, I decided to force myself to finish all my WIPs, so here is a drawing of Tessa in the famous strawberry dress that I started back in August. I wanted to focus on improving my digital art but I somehow ended up in an art block instead but hey, shit happens. And happy 2021 you guys!
“Era hermoso, siempre había sido hermoso, pero lo había notado demasiado tarde. Y ahora estaba de pie con las manos a sus costados y su cuerpo doliendo porque no podía tocarlo. Nunca podría tocarlo denuevo”
“Ya te lo había dicho, Jem, que no me dejarías. Y aún estás conmigo. Cuando respire, pensaré en ti, porque sin ti hace años que estaría muerto. Cuando me despierte y cuando duerma, cuando alce las manos para defenderme o cuando yazca para morir, tú estarás conmigo. Dices que nacemos una y otra vez. Yo digo que es un rio lo que nos separa a los muertos de los vivos. Lo que sé es que si nacemos denuevo, te encontraré en esa otra vida, y que si hay un rio, me esperarás en la orilla a que llegue a ti, para que podamos cruzarlo juntos. ¿Me has odio, James Carstairs? Estamos unidos, tú y yo, por encima de la separación de la muerte, por todas las generaciones que puedan venir. Para siempre”
