I watched him think on it, and I thought on Pete’s words about a man’s actions being the measure of madness, and then I mused on all we had told the Marquis, and that moment of giddy joy when I had first felt that perhaps we were sane and the world mad. I felt it to be true even more strongly, now. Tonight it did not make me giddy, though; it made my heart ache. I was moved to embrace the only person I felt I would ever stand beside. “What?” he whispered as he held me in return. “You are not alone,” I murmured. “And neither am I. And the world is mad, not us.” He gave a brief bark of pained amusement and held me tighter. “If this is sanity, then the world is a very dark and scary place.”
