but you of all people should know that sometimes one 's own life is less important than the cause . its time for me to join the others . do you want a piece of jerky ? it always made him more frantic . i did n't want him to stop touching me , albeit i also did n't want him to know that i liked it . he waved away her apology , rubbed the back of his neck and moved into the bathroom . i felt like it was crossing a line that had been drawn in the sand .
