It was like a flicker of energy or something. I know I wasn't dreaming it up."Silence. Bob looked at Toro and asked, "Toro, you have anything to add?"...e immediately said, "Yep. The first time I admired Natalie yesterday, she looked me over in an instant. It felt as if she'd inspected my entire personality with a glance. Same with you, Bob, when you shook my hand.
