Black text against a blue background. The text reads as follows: Instead, Francis focused on his feelings for the man before him... “Do you think I want to be apart from you? That it doesn’t pain me to not be by your side?” Caius looked into his eyes, but he didn’t say a word. So Francis continued. “Do you think it doesn’t rip at my heart, to not fall asleep next to you? To not see your smile, or hear your voice, or hold you when you need comfort? To not be with you to experience all this life has to offer us?” Caius covered his mouth and quietly wept—and Francis’s heart almost broke at the sound. “Because it does.” Francis took Caius’s face in his hands and forced a smile through trembling lips. “I assure you, Caius Jardin. With every ounce of my being, I would rather be here with you. Be *anywhere* with you. Every day. For the rest of our lives.” –excerpt from book four of The Way of the Wielder series (a WIP)
