what attracted me to him were his looks . i know you like to think so , but that doesnt make them real . he listened as he watched through the lens , his left arm covering the instrument . no , but like i said a several weeks ago , it is hard for me to comment on that , having never met her until now . `` it seems the taxi is here . '' her words sounded like a promise , and i wondered what i 'd gotten myself into . sure , i said , hoping he was right .
