i bring one of my hands up and cup the back of her head , while the other i keep at her waist . she continues speaking to him as she goes through the screen door to the kitchen . for some time , i sat quiet and filled with such surprise and joy . every day he went down to that shop at 10 a.m . he scanned the yards , looking there as well . he bit it gently , making her whimper . but when i drew him closer , he did n't pull back .
