Jennifer stared past them and watched him. As usual, his blood warmed to her living poetry. But this time Faust examined the sensation without passion, seeking beyond his earlier assumption that he’d fallen finally, truly in love. He found that somewhere between his lust and his liking lurked a desperate yearning, too shy to put itself forward. He’d never encountered it before. If this was love, at least, like Donne’s, it was a reasoning and patient love. When I am gone, dream me some happiness.

She saw his eyes travel slowly from her face downward, stopping
first at her lips, then at her breasts, then going all the way down to
her ankles. She felt his stare as if it was a warm hand moving gently

New Orleans was a sea of appealing women with pleasing accents flowing from pretty lips, but there was something about this girl’s beauty, something that kept Justin’s eyes planted on her.

“To my home, to my city. You have three weeks, after all.”
Her reaching hand halted. “Three weeks?”
