Oh...God...Letting go meant you accepted what couldn't be changed. You didn't try to hold on to hope in order to coerce a change in fortune...nor did you battle against the superior forces of fate and try to make them capitulate to your will...nor did you beg for salvation because you assumed you knew better.

A smirk curved its sensual lips. "But then, women never have been able to keep their eyes off me." "Oh, you are so arrogant. I just couldn't figure out if you were a fairy or not," Gabby snapped. A dark eyebrow arched. "And you thought the answer to that question might be found in my pants? That's why you were looking there?" Its dark gaze shimmered with amusement.

Women don't do things like that! Move their... their personal parts about in public." "Mores the pity. I, for one, would find it quite fascinating".Its gaze dropped to her breasts. ↗
