[Ashley] #OUTLANDERReadAlong #ABreathOfSnowAndAshes #BreeAndRoger They sat silent for a little, the fireflies drifting down like slow green rain, their silent mating song lighting the darkening grass and trees. Roger’s face was fading as the light failed, though she still saw the line of his jaw, set in determination. “I swear to ye, Bree,” he said. “Whatever I’m called to now—and God knows what that is—I was called to be your husband first. Your husband and the father of your bairns above all things—and that I always shall be. Whatever I may do, it will not ever be at the price of my family, I promise you.” “All I want,” she said softly to the dark, “is for you to love me. Not because of what I can do or what I look like, or because I love you—just because I am.” “Perfect, unconditional love?” he said just as softly. “Some would tell ye only God can love that way—but I can try.” “Oh, I have faith in you,” she said, and felt the glow of him reach her own heart. “I hope ye always will,” he said. He raised her hand to his lips, kissed her knuckles in formal salutation, his breath warm on her skin.
