      “From where I’m sitting, you have something better. I thought you’d never do anything for anyone without something of equal or more value in it for you, and I was wrong.”

      “Maybe you should withdraw your apology. Since you weren’t wrong. I do want something.”

      Her heart forgot to beat. “You do?”
