She let him pull her in, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her cheek to his chest. \u201cOh, Loki. Look at us. Both so convinced we\u2019re worthless people, so confused by others caring.\u201d Closing her eyes, she kept projecting, pouring her sympathy and caring and desire for this wounded, struggling man out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cLook at us both,\u201d he repeated, nodding into her hair. \u00a0\u201dImagine what we could accomplish if we were without sentiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was something he had tried to achieve, but almost had to admit he could not. \u00a0Yet here was a creature whose existence revolved around emotion. \u00a0How tiring her life must be. \u00a0He was exhausted already.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer thwacked his back lightly. \u201cYou\u2019d be dead, because I wouldn\u2019t have this power. I\u2019ve known people who tried to cut off their emotions, and it didn\u2019t end well for them.\u201d Leaning back enough to look him in the face, she went on, \u201cLoki \u2026 I can\u2019t speak for you. But I told you once already, they tried to \u2026 mute me. And it was awful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine how. \u00a0Look how much pain this causes you. \u00a0I see what you have to endure, just to be near someone. \u00a0And you say it hurt to be without feeling?\u201d<\/p>\n

He shook his head and paced around the room. \u00a0This woman was turning his brain to mush.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her mouth twisted. “Imagine if someone took your magic from you.” Folding her arms, Summer regarded Loki. “That is how essential it is to me to feel. In this pain, I know I am alive.” She couldn’t help but frown, dark brows drawing together over green eyes. “Why is this so important to you? To push away emotion. Sentiment.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
