Dru Pagliassotti quote: "Huh? Oh you have a hidden agenda, do you?" She laughed. His straight-faced humor always surprised her. "You promised me you didn't."<br />"There is nothing hidden about it," he replied. My objective is obvious. I've decided I'd rather have you describe me as 'sweet' than a 'slagging pain in the tailset.'"<br />"Really?"<br />"Well..." he looked up from the bag. "Maybe not in public."<br />"I might be able to confine myself to saying it in private, if you gave me a reason." Taya met his eyes, and he blushed."

Do you think you might be able to love me someday?" He asked and heard her laugh softly.
