"I am afraid," she said.
"I have been told that if you really love someone
you give that loved one the power to hurt and pain you in a way nothing else can."

"To love does mean to put yourself into the power of the loved one and to become very vulnerable to pain,
and you are very Much-Afraid of pain, are you not?"
-Chapter 1,Hinds' feet on high places
i am Much-Afraid.
