"I'll never ask for you to be with me, to love me, to appreciate me and what I have to offer. Everything I do will be for you. I will be unabashedly devoted to making you happy. The choice will always have to be yours. But if you continue to choose me? I promise to give you everything I am, everything I will ever be, everything you can even imagine. There will never be a moment of your life where you will ever question where I stand with you, how I feel, or whether I choose you. But I'll never ask, Jhorie. I can't. The choice will always have to be yours." — Ezekiel "You'll never have to ask because the decision has already been made. I've already chosen you, Ezekiel, and my choice is never changing." — Jhorie This is our story... Note: Dawning and Resurgence is a standalone novel that can be read alone; however, for a better reading experience, it's best to begin with Shadows and Whispers.
