    Summary

    “It’s extraordinary.” Her beautiful eyes are round and gleaming, and she’s breathing rapidly, which might be from fear or desire. She comes close to him, lifting her chin so she can look into his face. She smells of hot solder and summertime. “I want to kiss you so badly,” she whispers.

    Asriel folds his palms around her jaw and presses his mouth to hers, incandescent with pride and inspiration and utterly ravenous. Forgetting to be gentle, he crushes her body against his, wanting to subsume her, to be subsumed, to combine their two essences into some creature never before imagined, because no two minds such as theirs have met before to imagine it: something eight-limbed, two-headed, winged and terrible, radiant and absolutely new. Then he hears her joints pop from the pressure of his arms; he quickly releases her and the angelic vision dissipates like smoke. Without his embrace to steady her, she shudders.

    “They’ll destroy you for this, Asriel.”
