The Ryu Morgue (A Jane True Short Story) (Trueniverse Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Maeve said, intent on keeping the Moiroi distracted.“I mean that I know what you really want. What you need. And I gave it to you. That is my gift to humanity.”“Gift? I attacked my partner.” Maeve’s head was beginning to hurt, her thoughts growing muzzy. “How is that a gift?”Pai stood up from the spinning wheel, moving a few steps closer to Maeve. Maeve knew she should move, but it didn’t seem all that important to do so. She felt safe, suddenly.Pai was now in front of Maeve, and she was unsure how the blonde woman had gotten there. Had she closed her eyes? Pai took Maeve’s hands in hers.“I know humans, you see,” Pai explained, looking into Maeve’s eyes. Maeve saw eternity in that gaze. “I know how much people want things. How much they feel. How they yearn to accomplish their dreams and yet how much holds them back.”“Accomplish their dreams,” Maeve repeated, falling into the depths of those eyes.“But you can’t, can you?” Pai said, letting go of one of Maeve’s hands to stroke a finger down her cheek.
