I was born for you -Claire Fraser, Outlander
Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon
Only you, he said, so softly I could barely hear him. To worship ye with my body, give ye all the service of my hands. To give ye my name, and all my heart and soul with it. Only you. Because ye will not let me lie--and yet ye love me.
Diana Gabaldon
