i watch the different emotions flash across her face-disbelief , joy , confusion-before she takes a step forward . they are brave men just like we are i suppose , and they were determined to hold onto every piece of land they had with an extremely tight grip . hope they bought my act , '' i said , showing him my crossed fingers . moses does n't know what he expected to happen . `` like is no ' the word i 'd use . '' i hug her close , glad to have someone as wonderful as her in my life .
