From the book
I am not here to save you.
I am not here to fix what broke before you found this fire.
I am here to see you. To feed you.
To make sure you know your heart is safe here.
Come sit awhile. There's room beside the fire.
The hall still stands. Everything that made it a home is gone.
One winter evening, a traveler arrives seeking shelter.
Marek opens the door.
