i would like to help you , but i have work to do . i do n't know why she did , but i could n't take my eyes off cole . eventually she might have forgotten you ... and that is a better thing ? for a second or two they stared at each other . i am prepared to throw my career , and , quite possibly , my life away on the assumption that what i am about to do is somehow , in some way , the right thing , but i need your help .
