i pout and relax back into the pillow . im used to working on a ranch . well , dont get too excited , boss . `` thank the ever-loving sun god , '' he says , and walks over to hug me . a schedule will be easy to put together . he said in a way that he thought amusing . his fingers tangled with hers and he tugged her off balance so that she fell against him . hed been a cop and broken them . her hair brushed the top of her shoulders like shiny black feathers .
