I thought of it as a force which would clean me and by its presence make me worthy of it. There was no religion in my life after early childhood, and a great faith in love was what I had cultivated instead. Oh, don't laugh at me for this, for being a woman who says this to you. I hear myself speak. Even now, even after all that took place between us, I can still feel how moved I am by him. Ciaran was that downy, darkening blond of a baby just leaving its infancy. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. None of it mattered in the end; what he looked like, who he was, the things he would do to me. To make a beautiful man love and live with me had seemed - obviously, intuitively - the entire point of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Megan Nolan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42282756112621,"sku":"9781529113013","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781529113013_9433cc2c-e714-4d18-8bb1-7af169720970.jpg?v=1793369917","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.live\/products\/9781529113013","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
