Check out what Sarah James made for her OTP on my book, Touched: LeahxGabe. The quote is from Kahlil Gibran's My Friend, a poem that describes perfectly how Leah and Gabe perceived each other:
"When thou ascendest to thy Heaven I descend to my Hell--even then thou callest to me across the unbridgeable gulf, 'My companion, my comrade,' and I call back to thee, 'My comrade, my companion'--for I would not have thee see my Hell. The flame would burn thy eyesight and the smoke would crowd thy nostrils. And I love my Hell too well to have thee visit it. I would be in Hell alone."
It's a telling quote about how devoted Leah and Gabe are to each other and that they would try to save the other even from each other.
To celebrate, I give snippet to 2nd book: The Saint.
Gabe dipped his hands in the sink, the water grew pink with blood. It was no longer strange now, doing that. He wondered whether he should worry. He'd think about that later. He had other more important things to worry about, like the person who was standing behind him.
"That's why she'll never trust you, Real. You're loyal to the cause." He flicked water from his hands and wiped them dry with a towel. "While I'm loyal to--"
"Yourself?" Justin snapped, it grated for him to be judged by a Demon Touched. It grated even more that he was judged by Gabe.
Gabe let out a small laugh before turning and leaning agains the wall. His dark eyes calm and focused. "Yeah, that's right, but what you still don't understand, and you should, is that my life and Leah's are entwined so tightly there is no escape for either of us. She is The Sword and I am her Sheath, we are useless without each other. What is important to one will be important to the other. She knows that, she can trust that. She can trust me."
Gabe tilted his head and his lips curled in a small smile. "Can you say the same?"
