Color Me True Book 2: In a World Full of People, You May Lose Sight of It All and the Darkness Inside You Makes You Feel So Small.

"Love doesn't die." The intensity of her words and her voice grew exponentially now, for she had said it and only then did it finally hit him - he shifted, instinctively moving closer to her heat, his eyes still closed - she had said it ... and then he smiled inside, because he realized in that moment that they really did have a chance to survive this thing between them. For if she believed that love didn't die, then somewhere deep inside she must believe in love. And in that belief, despite certain innate misgivings she might have on the sustainability of relationships - Nik Gordon believed in love, the kind of love Clay had given up on, the everlasting kind, the kind he wanted to believe in again - and like she said last night in the elevator ... she wanted this, whatever this was ... she wanted it with him. Having put those final missing pieces together, Clay's mind effortlessly wandered to their magical evening last night - deeper and deeper he went, allowing himself to rest his weary mind - for he had indeed found clarity, he found Nik ... and she found him.
