time i looked away , thinking of eve , and trying to bite back the fear in my voice . she looked very defeated and i felt sorry for her for a second . but i do not want the gifts of generous hearts . the phone rings and my able assistant reaches over to answer it without stopping the typing with her left hand . that puppy dog eyes crap doesnt work on me . i lie down next to him again and snuggle up against his side . most likely , he had n't even meant it .
