She wanted his kisses, needed them; she wanted to taste him and feel his hands in her hair and, and ... more, and even though she knew he was going to...break her heart, she knew she wouldn’t walk away.I’ll just take whatever I can get – and learn to live with the loss later.“Leliana?” His voice was rough in a way that made her smile against his neck.“Yes?”He shifted her a little so he could look down into her face. “How are you feeling?” He smiled at her, a small crooked thing that made her. .. but then she recognized Dr. Eric Kaye her employer, and the room as his home--and the evening's events came back to her completely. It was all right; she was safe.

He moved back away from her slightly, looking into her eyes. "How do you feel now?". “I promise, Kareema, and just call me Amal from now onwards. Think of me as your friend, and not as a police officer, okay?” he said, rubbing her back with his right palm. And soon enough, he kissed her head close to her forehead.“Amal,” Kareema moaned, turning her face towards him and looking into his eyes, “why don’t you tell me how you really feel about me?”Amal’s real feelings were one thing, but he was hesitant to say them.

So, I drew a new, larger circle around Annie and then drew an even larger one just outside of that. Then I placed twice as many charms in the proper places to contain both her and the imps. After that, I sat in a chair watching.
