SUBMITTING, MAYBE LIKE IN THIS EXCERPT FROM DEAN KOONTZ'S NOVEL, Innocence:

[Addison]: "You didn't say that you loved me. You said you loved my innocence."

[Gwyneth]: "And you ARE your innocence. It's as fundamental to you as water is to the sea."

[A]: "How long have you known?"

[G]: "Since we met in the library ... and you said 'We hold each other hostage to our eccentricities.' ... if we loose that person, then, we, too, are lost."
