“When I asked my da how ye knew which was the right woman, he told me when the time came, I’d have no doubt. And I didn’t. When I woke in the dark under that tree on the road to Leoch, with you sitting on my chest, cursing me for bleeding to death, I said to myself, ‘Jamie Fraser, for all ye canna see what she looks like, and for all she weighs as much as a good draft horse, this is the woman.’”
“I remember hearing you once say, Mr. Darcy, that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable. You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its being created.” ch. 18
“I knew ye belonged here, with me, almost since the first time I laid eyes on ye. That’s one of the reasons I agreed to marry ye. Though not the main one. Then what was the main one? Hmm. Because I wanted you more than I ever wanted anything in my life. Right from that moment I fell off the horse and… Woke up in the dark looking up at your face. Then there was that long ride together, with that lovely round arse wedged tight between my thighs, and that rock-solid head thumping me in the chest. That’s why you agreed to marry me, because of my round arse and my rock-solid head? Hmm. I wanted ye from the first moment I saw ye. But… I loved ye when ye wept in my arms that first night at Leoch. But now I… I wake up every day, and I find that I love you more than I did the day before. I love you.“
“You have found your home. Do you feel the darkness in the hollow of your plexus? Don’t you understand? Your darkness was your secret, and she whispers to mine.”
