"Atlas Hallow, if possible, I hope it stays like this, that this moment lasts forever. But how long is forever? So far that we can't imagine it. Will there be a day we part, not by my choice, do you understand?" Charlotte Miller half-kneeling on the sofa, her gaze parallel to Atlas Hallow's, clear as water, reaching deep into his heart.
