"Thank you," she said. "I ... I'm sorry, I don't have anything I can give you." Actually, there's something." said Sawyer; he either didn't see or ign...ored the suspicion that clouded her features. "I want to talk. Not like we have been- I want an actual conversation. Every time I ask you anything you just ... clam up, and I don't know why, and I can't change whatever I'm doing if you don't say anything."So I have a proposal." He smiled. "Let's trade questions. You ask me something, and I'll. .. Come here ... Stop ... Brandon! Relax ... Shhhh..."I pulled him close, even though he kept trying to twist away as if he didn't want me to. I knew what girls liked though and that's all Brandon was really, just another girl. He just had to get some pillow talk, as the older guys at school called it. They were full of stories about how bitchy their girlfriends could get after sex if they didn't get snuggled and kissed, told how special they were and all that stuff. So I knew that's all. We've been through a lot.”“A third member of our alliance could prove very beneficial, mother,” Lamia said to me.“We'd need Lilith returned and freed for your control,” I answered.“I reckon I don't have no problem with that.”Lilith's face fell.“She's all yours. I reckon I gots enough women to enjoy, plus more die everyday and end up down here. I can part with her in exchange for this alliance against Brandon.”What do you think? I sent my wife.It gets us Lilith back, and we could use more. At first I didn’t recognize her as I had only seen her pic; she came near me and asked, “are you jagrukh ?”, I nodded my ahead. She took a seat next to me and we started talking to each other for a long time. I took her hand in my hand and squeezed it. At first she hesitated but later gave in to my affable gesture. When it was time to leave, I asked her if I can drop her to her house, she said she lives nearby and it is not necessary. I didn’t insist much and shook her hand and left. After.
