"Tell me that Gorlim will one day know what to do with the love I give him. Tell me that he will not push us away. Tell me that his passion is not short-lived and will not die once my fears have been eased."

"Tell me that it is all right to desire you as sharply as I do. Tell me that my curiousity at your thoughts is not an invasion. Tell me that it will be no easier to love you than it is to love Gorlim and that there will be no more of this terrible uncertainty."
A beat.
"If you can tell me those things, Lee, and believe them, perhaps my ruffled feathers will be soothed."
