    "You wouldn't know. You're built like some sort of supermodel." I bit my lip, wishing I hadn't complimented you like that. "Or a stripper," I added. "Prostitute."

    "I wouldn't want you to think I'm repulsive," you said, half smiling.

    "Too late."

    You opened your other eye to squint at me. "Will you ever give me a break?”
