bronze , i knew youd be back for more , a man said and stepped into toms view . we just didnt have what we needed to open the door . he shook his head , not waiting for a response from me , which was good , since i could n't form words yet . he pulled back , gave me a squeeze at the neck and a smile before he slid away . her lips press together , white as plaster . she turned it over in her hands . did he have a chance of bringing her back to him ?
